Interview
Due to health issues, I was unwell during my scheduled interview and attempted to reschedule by reaching out to the HR contact I had. Unfortunately, I didn't receive a timely response and had to proceed with the interview while running a high fever. The panel showed little empathy, and the interaction lacked basic introductions or professionalism. Despite being asked moderate, relevant questions, I couldn’t perform at my best due to my condition and was later informed that the interview would not be rescheduled as the panel had decided to reject my profile.
An online test was conducted followed by a technical interview where technical questions from my resume were asked and an HR round. The final selection was announced after all the processes.
