Worst experience one could ever have.
Started with HR discussion over call, i was told that the role is either Lead or Senior depending upon candidate. I made it very clear about the role which i wanted to i.e. Senior role instead of lead due to lack of lead experience. HR acknowledged to my statements and asked me a time for scheduling the interview.
The process got started. Round 1: covers 3 back to back medium level dsa questions. Straight 1 hr round. Got that round cleared as well.
Round 2: complete web automation was asked to write starting from 1 page to another as an E2E flow. Along with it there were few more questions from java, jenkins, sql etc. Interviewer too asked me the experience for Lead role which i denied.
Post this round, after calling to HR i got to know that round was cleared but as per the feedback given by second Interviewer i was not fit for Lead role( as expected obviously) but also they can't move forward with my candidature because of low budget for Senior role. Like WOWWW!!
Wasted my time and energy both.
Please dont proceed with the rounds if the things are not clear at the first place itself.
