After multiple technical and managerial assessments, it is unclear why the HR round repeats managerial-style or 'fitment' questions. The managerial panel had already given very positive feedback on the candidate’s performance across four rounds, so the HR round often feels unnecessary and redundant. If the final decision is primarily based on HR’s subjective fitment view, it raises questions about the purpose of the managerial evaluation. Unfortunately, internal politics and referrals also seem to influence the outcome

The technical interviews were very well done. The first involved pairing on a coding exercise that felt mostly practical which I appreciated. The second involved pairing on an actual code change that represented the kind of work you would actually do in the role.

Initial interview via HireVue, I havent received an offer yet, if successfull with the initial screening they will go ahead with more interviews. The name of the recruiter was given for contact information.
