It's a very lengthy process, It took around 40 days for a total of 6 rounds (2 codings, 1 system design, 1 hiring manager, 2 directors rounds) . Though it's a lengthy process it is properly managed. The interviewers, Recruiters were also very nice people. But the worst part of the interview process was the Job Description, it was not matching with the expectation at all, not even 10% of what is mentioned in the job description. It is pure people management role, but JD is for a pure technical role. I felt very disheartened when I was rejected after giving 6 rounds that leadership was the issue. I agree with this comment somehow, but I would like to highlight one issue here. you cannot expect everything to be perfect as a manager from a person having overall 11 years of experience. 11 years of person could have maximum 3 years of people management experience and tat too with some technical role. It's very very rare for a person with pre people management role with 11 years of experience. I would suggest the team of you are looking for such a role and please change your job description because candidates read it first. as CV or resume is the first impression so the JD as well. and please stop taking the technical coding and designing interviews if you don't need that skill at all. And please provide the proper detailed feedback if you reject the candidate after 6 rounds. Its field is very very bad.

5-6 rounds, first round screening with a manager - general questions and some coding. Second round - code, DS problems and some concurrency related code, and general tech stack specific questions. I think it went well. Third round - supposed to be system design, but a really weird, psycho opened some white paper on compensating transactions and wanted to implement that in 10 mins, with no details of it whatsoever. Things were going weird now, random questions, more like rapid fire, overshot time limit, does not give a damn(was on back-back interviews for 4+ hours). The guy was completely clueless what to ask . Fourth round- Managerial round, I think it went well. Fifth round - coding or whatever it was supposed to be, Had some coding questions, which I did correctly, after that stopped interview abruptly. HR did not bother to walk through the rounds and elaborate the expectations on the rounds, didn't really feel like it was an engineering manager round, and specially no system design round. Waste of 6-8 hours over 2 days, stretching a continuous 4+hours for interview. No feedback after that. NOT PROFESSIONAL AT ALL.
