      Interview

      hr screen first, and Ghost never received their message after that. I don't know if it is because the hiring manager didn't pick me or what the reason is. Overall it is not a good experience

      2 interviews, 1 technical (50 mins), and the other techno-managerial (25 mins). HR round after clearing them. It was a good interview experience, they make you comfortable. It was a short process.

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Optum in Nov 2025

      Interview

      WORST HRs The interview process had 2 rounds one online and one F2F onsite at their GGN office which feels like is in a different country. Though I do not have any complaints about the interviewers but the HR in the HR discussion was highly rude and unprofessional, these people god knows how many HRs were part of it because it was like a relay race , one HR would call to ask expectation and then another would call to follow up and then a totally different one would get into your HR discussion. These people do not have efficient management within themselves only , they do not follow up with candidate about their revised expectations incase the candidate has received competing offers or not and basis their half baked understanding they won't give you an offer letter given that you invested so much time in their interview process and cleared all rounds successfully.
