6 rounds of interviews, and the recruiter got back to me quickly after each round to let me know that I would be moving on until the final one. I was very excited and even took time to learn more about their DB products as they wanted someone who could communicate technical requirements.

I got contact by recruiter for the senior PM role and successfully passed the first round of interviews. My status in the recruitment portal was updated to reflect progression to the next stage, which led me to believe I was still under active consideration. However, I later received an email stating the role had been filled by an external candidate, with no prior warning or clarity about competing applicants. Feedback for Improvement: While I appreciate the opportunity to interview, the process lacked transparency. If a candidate’s portal status suggests advancement, but the company is simultaneously closing the role, clearer communication would prevent false hope and wasted effort. Future applicants should seek explicit confirmation on their standing, as status updates may not reflect reality.

Applied online, had a referrer inside via current colleague. Got a quick response from recruiter for a 30 min call with basic questions. Call with hiring manager within a week, then a 'virtual onsite' of 4 calls with different people. Interviews were relatively informal with questions like "tell me about the time when...", concentrated a lot to stakeholder management and escalations. No technical questions really. Got a good feel from the interviews and later on recruiter reached out to ask about my green card status but then received a standard "we won't be proceeding with your application" email. No feedback on the interviews.
