I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Monotype (Noida) in Jul 2024
Interview
I went through seven rounds of interviews for a software developer position, successfully clearing all of them. The process was long but I remained engaged and cooperative throughout, even receiving verbal confirmation that an offer letter was being prepared on the final day.
However, just when I was expecting the formal offer, communication suddenly stopped. Calls and messages were ignored, and eventually, I was told I was "not qualified"—without any clear explanation, despite having already cleared all rounds.
This experience was highly unprofessional and emotionally draining. Investing weeks of effort only to be ghosted at the final step reflects poor candidate management and a lack of respect for applicants' time. I hope the company improves transparency and communication in its hiring process.
