Entrevista
I got an interview call from the HR of the company this saturday.
I went for the interview.
I cleared technical test and both the technical interviews.
The manager said that HR will call you for final discussion and I was told that they cannot select me as I have a very less tenure in my current company(11 months).
If the company has these norms and they are so rigid about it, then they shouldnt call for the interview at the first place.
It would have been fine, if I was lagging behind in any skills and that was the reason of rejection, but clearing all rounds then getting rejected for small tenure in the current company is such a rigid judgement. There could be any reason which may not be disclosed.
If you are going for interview and have same scenario, dont waste your time over it.

Entrevista
First round was a chat with HR, no questions, just giving me details and letting me know I was selected for an interview and scheduling it.
The second round took place on Teams, 3 different developers from different teams. The interview was 2 hours long, first half was behavioral questions and the second hour was a live coding exam.
Live coding exam takes place on your PC, sharing your screen on Teams on your IDE of choice. They emailed me JSON files with 3 questions. I made the mistake of not noticing the questions on the email and thought they would communicate them verbally. Because of this, I misunderstood the question and they didn't correct me or didn't know to correct me. I recommend not sharing your screen until after you've received the email and pulled in the data and questions. I also wasn't a fan of doing this through my own IDE, because it means I had to spend time setting up a test environment and getting it to work with the JSON, something I wasn't familiar with. Personally would have preferred leetcode or something similar to simplify the process. The questions themselves weren't inherently super difficult.

Pregunta 1
The technical questions were structured something like this:
Given two JSON files. A list of objects containing data and a list of objects that contains data and objects containing data.
Given conditions, such as person's name, find out what company they work for, which can be found be performing lookups.
