Was contacted on linkedIn for the opportunity. It was an exciting opportunity and was looking forward to the interview process. The HR would not get back until about a month later and then was pleased to be informed that I cleared the round. The second round was scheduled and the HR though he could email me mid night and expected to turn up -- to hell with the events planned for the day. Then no response for a month or so and then when I issued ultimatium that I am withdrawing my application only then he responded by scheduling the second round. Another week goes by and when I again informed him that I'm not getting right vibes he says the job has been put on hold. Then blabbers hold for 2 weeks and changed to 2 months. It all makes sense. In anticipation to Client's future needs they opened this job but then the client probably pushed back and now its been on hold indefently.

The interview ran for only 30 mins. First after the introductions one of the interviewer asked me how would you design a FastAPI codebase with frontend, backend and middleware services. I got many cross questions based on what I said. Then another interviewer gave a python snippet to solve. and lastly was asked a question on auto scaling in Kubernetes. Another surprise round of interview was scheduled, questions were targeted mostly towards GitHub Actions and Kubernetes. Most of the questions were scenario based. Didn't asked me to write any action's workflow or yaml.
