The interview F2F was scheduled on 3pm.
I have arrived at 3pm in few mins HR met and informed about that I have to wait 15 mins.
After about 15 mins, she took me to the 4th floor there I waited till 4.15pm for the person to show up.
(Not a word about holding me for 75mins ,not even for the sake of courtesy)

About 4 questions related to application debugging (Explained)
The above mentioned questions only I can remember of.
Try to understand here, that I was there for Cloud architect position and I have 12yrs total and have 9yrs full on cloud and Security.
He never asked me on anything related to cloud or anything you mentioned in the Key responsibilities.
I have never imagined that companies like Freshworks will follow saying something in the JD asking something in the screening process.
My profile got rejected as I not able to write the script immediately.
(Explaining logic and command that can be used is not helping)
Be prepared to answer/handle irrelevant questions also.(you may expect, what is [a+b]^3 also :) )
I didn’t read Glassdoor reviews prior going here, or I would not have gone there wasted 4hrs of my time.
