The process began with an initial discussion with HR, followed by a coding round. I completed the assessment within the allotted time, and my solution passed all of their unit tests.
After this, HR requested my availability for the next round. However, within a few hours, I received a follow-up stating that the position had already been filled and that hiring had been paused. This abrupt reversal points to a lack of planning and internal coordination.
The experience ultimately felt like a waste of candidates’ time and effort. For individuals actively seeking opportunities, such mismanagement can be particularly discouraging. The handling in this instance came across as unprofessional and indicative of a lack of maturity in managing the hiring process.
