One written test and 2 rounds of technical interviews (does not include HR round) I was approached for this position by one of my ex- manager ( also the hiring manager). For the last round of interview, I got a call from the HR and he said it was imperative that the interview took place the next day as there was an urgency to hire. I agreed and the interview went extremely well. I asked the interviewer how it went and she happily said that I will surely hear back from the HR soon. With that I was totally sure that I will get a call for negotiation round or get an offer letter. Two weeks passed by and there was no further communication. I contacted the hiring manager and thats when I got to know that the position has been put on hold. Soon after, i got an email from ey that the position has been put on hold/ filled. My only suggestion is to not to waste the candidates time in the rigorous interview process if you are going to put the post on hold and if the candidate is not selected atleast let them know this directly.

It was good, super chill and easy to understand. Was able to communicate openly with the team as well. They were open to answering all of questions and were very happy to have me.
