Entrevista
Standard Interview Process, Recruiter got in touch with me. Gave a HackerRank Test and after that setup an onsite, consisting of 5 onsite rounds. The team was excellent. And the interview was focused on candidate's potential and problem solving skills. But good things end here. As others mentioned about the company, the HR treatment is horrible.
I got an email from the Recruiter mentioning that team liked me and want to move forward and she would like to talk to me to discuss next steps. But no meeting setup till next one week. After that, I asked if she want to talk and she called me after that. Explained that roles are been put on hold. So far so good. After that no updates for 2 months, Sent multiple emails, but no response. Tried to call her, but the recruiter won't pick up and never heard back from her. Sent multiple reminders but no response. So,as others said its better to stay away if you value your time and look for other companies. This one just wasted my time.
3 weeks after applying and numerous emails to the recruiter which went silent, the recruiter finally reached out to say that the team had reconsidered the role and decided to slash the opening. Very poor communication and poor management.

This opening was for VCDR team (Datrium acquisition)
Four technical rounds and it was very well orgranized.
HR had given a heads-up on focus area of each round.
Due to the pandemic, all rounds were done via Zoom and Codepair (Hackerrank).

Entrevista
Recruiter contacted me through a job Portal.
After finding if I was the right fit, she said she would send out an invite for a F2F meeting.
I got the invite after a week's time.
Reached the location 15 mins in advance. HR who contacted me over the phone did not come to receive me in person and sent some one else who guided me to a room where I was supposed to wait. She said in case the interviewer does not turn up in 20 mins, I should give her a call. As it happened no one turned up and I called her. Interviewer showed up after that completely unprepared for the interview. He was busy checking mails on his laptop for most of the time. After every round, I had to call up the HR and inform that I was done. Only then would the next interviewer show up. 2nd round was DS/Algo and few implementation questions. It lasted close to 2 hours. Then the interviewer gave me a coding problem and said he would return in 5 mins. Even after a 20 min wait, he didn't come back. When I called up the HR, she told me that he might have left for lunch and I should do the same. Finish up my lunch and be back in the same room in 20 mins. I had to tailgate, piggyback my way to the cafeteria and back. This is the worst candidate treatment I have ever encountered. 3rd round started after lunch and went on for 30-40 mins. It was probably a manager or a staff engineer who gave me a coding problem and did not want to discuss the solution. She just wanted to see the final code. After this the HR called up again and said I could leave for the day and she would get back to me by the next evening. It's been a week and there has not been any sort of communication so far !
