Interview
Applied online, got an email asking availability. HR did not follow up for a week,
Received another email asking for availability for phone interview. I replied. Another week passed by.
Then got a coding project I had to complete in 2 days - Employee management portal. Finished the project, and was waiting by the phone for the scheduled interview. No phone call. Reached out to the team. no response.
Complete waste of time
