**Interview Process Description:**
The overall interview experience was disappointing and lacked professionalism.
The biggest challenge was the interview scheduling process. Despite mutually agreeing on interview dates and times, I frequently received interview invitations with different schedules. Even after informing the recruiter about these discrepancies, corrections were often delayed. Unfortunately, this was not an isolated incident and occurred across multiple interview rounds.
Another concern was the frequent rescheduling of interviews, sometimes at the last minute without prior communication. On multiple occasions, I had already prepared and allocated time for the interview, only to be informed shortly before the scheduled time that it had been postponed. The reasons provided were usually panel unavailability or interviewer sick leave.
There were also instances where interviewers joined significantly late or did not join the call at all. This created uncertainty and reflected poorly on the overall candidate experience.
Additionally, the interview process itself lacked clarity and structure. Some rounds appeared to have no clear objective, and several questions seemed unrelated to the role being discussed.
The most frustrating part was the final stage of the process. After successfully clearing all previous technical rounds, my final technical round was rescheduled three times. Eventually, the round was cancelled, and I was informed that the hiring process had been put on hold for all positions. While business priorities can change, better communication and transparency throughout the process would have significantly improved the candidate experience.
I believe Razorpay can improve its recruitment process by ensuring clear communication, better scheduling coordination, and greater respect for candidates' time and effort.
