They ghosted me after my pre-recorded interview. It's been more than a month since then and I've still gotten no response from the recruiter who I'd originally talked to when setting up the interview.
I understand that the pandemic makes it harder to interview people, but pre-recorded interviews are just so impersonal. Also, they used Talview which uses AI and facial recognition to analyze your behavior for the recruiter. Not only is this incredibly biased, but it just further shows how little the company actually cares about its applicants as individuals. Overall, a giant waste of my time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General leadership questions. A question on how I stayed up to date with technology trends.
The interview began with a brief introduction and verification of documents. The first round focused on technical skills, including Java, SQL, and Selenium. I was asked to write code snippets, explain syntax, and debug sample problems. The second round involved scenario-based questions to assess problem-solving and automation strategy. The final round was an HR discussion about role expectations and company culture. Overall, the process was structured and challenging, with a strong emphasis on hands-on technical ability.

Interview
One interview comprising of both technical round and HR. It was overall moderate, and a highly recommended company for Engineers. I guess that is it. All questions were resume-based. It was good.
