Probably it is because the CSO is a crucial decision maker and he is not approving it without seeing you once. Usually such interviews are very straight forward. 
  
 Expect very simple questions - your way of responding to them will be checked. Questions like " sometimes you might have to work on weekends is it fine" may come. So your response will be checked.

How should I interpret it? I have already had 3 rounds of interview, the HR had already requested for documents but now they come back asking for another round of interview with CSO. I had already interviewed with CPO and a product manager along with a tech round.

How much CTC i can get from Deloitte

Senior Consultant

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

After 2 weeks and 4 rounds of interviews, the HR informed me on Friday that I’ve cleared the last round and have been selected. S/he asked me to share some documents and told offer letter will be shared in 2 days. I waited for 2 days and called the HR today. Here’s the interesting thing, on calling s/he didn’t recognise me first and asked me which department I’m from, then asked to wait 15 minutes for callback as s/he was on break. Again waited for more than an hour and called back but this time s/he didn’t pick up the call. My question is should I be worried? Move on or am I being impatient?

Just some more info - I don’t have any other offer in hand and the CTC I’ve asked for 100% of previous (last appraisal in 2021) although it’s still less than what is being offered for senior role in current market scenario in Bengaluru. Could this be the reason?

Your thoughts, please.

Selected but no offer

Hi there,

Yesterday I have completed my interview with Accenture and today the candidature status is updated as Interview Completed and received an email 
"We're excited that you've reached the next milestone in your recruitment journey at Accenture."

Does this mean I am selected in the 1st round and moving to the next one or should it be a general process of hiring? Can someone please confirm me about it?

Now a days, candidate experience has been tossed out of window. Companies and Talent hunt team are expecting candidates to go through multiple rounds of interviews with no clarity on rounds held, with multiple reschedules and delays with lot of uncertainty. what grapeviners thoughts about it? is it fair to have this practice?

opinion on 7-10 rounds of interviews?

I might probably regret this especially since I’ve seen a lot of backlash on this platform for crypto. 

But honestly, this has been a rewarding stint. And note that I didn’t say “crypto” as I don’t always advice people to invest in crypto.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Anyone aware of the interview process at Walmart? How many rounds are there usually?

Initially I was told it would be 3 rounds + HR. But post the third round, now I have been asked to go through another round of technical/product role.

Walmart SPM interview process

To all the senior level employees here. Why do companies take so many rounds of interviews? Why can't they judge based on 2 rounds of interviews - 1 DSA and projects and other on System Design. 

The first round is any way a bogus round I feel. Years of education, work experiences and still it doesn't say anything about my qualifications. Also, all the rounds have same questions - Leetcode medium. Then how the fuck they are helping in final decision? Any lights upon these.

Why 4+ rounds of interviews

Software Engineer

Need advice for the second round of technical interview at Accenture. Will it be telephonic just about the project or deep dive into the coding?

I gave an interview in the Accenture for a java developer this Tuesday with 4 years of experience.

The first round of the interview took almost an hour.

I received a HR call today and she was asking for availability for an interview. Even though she was confused that is this for second round. When I asked she said - yes , this is the second round with confusion.

Interview at Accenture.

How is the company doing? 
Is it also in trouble like zestmoney or have they cracked the business model?
And how is the leadership team like

Hi guys 

Have Uber interviews lined up this week for the DS position in the CAS team. 
Did any one of you attended the process recently ? If you could describe your interview process and type of questions asked that would be great
Cheers

Uber DS interview Help

Education: Tier 3 College
TC: ~34L
YOE: 3 in PBCs (including MAANG) (Currently SE2)

I recently got a chance to interview with Microsoft and it was probably one of the worst interview experiences ever.

Team: CCE - Commerce Customer Experience (BEWARE OF THESE FOLKS!)

Round 1 - March 27, 2024
An engineer from WA reached out to me via call and told me that they want to interview me for an opening. I was happy and agreed for an interview the next day at night. In the meantime, I asked the seniority, the job description, and the interview structure. He said 4 rounds and sent me a SE2 job description. He asked me DSA and some basic Java Questions. The interview went very well.
Self Verdict: Pass
Actual Verdict: Pass

Round 2 - April 1, 2024
A manager (who would have become my manager if selected), called me. He sits in HYD office. Asked me for an interview. He asked me tougher DSA and System Design. The interview went very well.
Self Verdict: Pass
Actual Verdict: Pass

Round 3 - April 10, 2024
Another person, who is the manager of the 2nd interviewer called me and asked me for an interview. Same, DSA, System Design. The interview went very well.
Self Verdict: Pass
Actual Verdict: Pass

Before round 4, I had to call and write emails to my 3rd round of interviewer to ask for updates as there is no HR involved; and he said, "The position has been put to hold because of some internal restructuring. Please just wait!"

Round 4 - April 24, 2024
Another perosn called me from WA, and requested to schedule an interview. I thought this would be my last round. He asked me DSA, and tried to understand my profle and asked me some AA interview like questions. The interview went very well.
Self Verdict: Pass
Actual Verdict: Pass

Now, I was just hoping for a call form the HR to ask me for details to release an offer. But now the twist starts!

Most Pathetic Microsoft Interview Experience after 8 rounds - L61

Hi Guys,
I am attending an interview process for Lead Data Science. I want to know the previous experiences with to improvise my interview experience. 
The company having 5 rounds and each round is an elimination (the scary part).

First round is DSA and Data Science fundamental. Where I have learnt DSA 5years ago and now I’m out of practice. For Data Science it might be more like ML (I assume). 

Second round is System Design, which will be more on designing system and scalability 

Third round is more off Technical And Managerial around.

4th round is managerial round 

5th round is HR discussion 

I want to know where to prepare for all the rounds and what’s the efficient way to prepare for it.

Interview Experience Required

Data Scientist

This was my pathetic interview experience with Acceldata india with a very unprofessional and lying recruiter. This story has a satisfying ending.

I attended 6 rounds of interviews in 1 month and completed a take home assignment. I cleared all the rounds and even had a manager discussion about my onboarding. All good so far. 

Few days later the recruiter called back and said we need one more round (8th round) with the director who sits in US office. I said Ok and he scheduled this call on a Friday 10pm at night. 

At 9:55pm I tried to join the meeting link he sent but the link was not working. I tried in different browsers, different laptop, different internet connection. No luck. 

So I reached out to recruiter on mobile and he doesn't pick up. I know he's available because he was on call with someone else. I even tried reaching him via a different phone number but still no luck. Imagine the anxiety and panic I had to go through since I felt that it was my fault. 

On, next day he casually calls me in the morning to say that "Sorry I tried calling you 2 days ago but your mobile was unreachable (which is a plain lie). He says he cancelled the meeting because he found another candidate with lower salary.

That's fine, and I don't give a damn at this point. But I asked why didn't he send meeting cancelled email so I didn't have to panic on a friday late night. He casually says "Sorry about that". That's the last I hear of him. No response after that. 

All this after going through 8 rounds of interviews and a take home assignment. All because this a--hole recruiter lied to my face and couldn't send a simple email. 

Funny thing is: Another recruiter reached out to me 3 months later for the same role. Apparently the candidate they hired instead of me backed out at the last miniute. 🤣

If you get a chance to interview at AccelData, trust me, please don't waste your time. The company and the recruiting practises are not worth your time, even if you are jobless.

Don't bother interview with AccelData

This is EXACTLY one of the ways this platform is meant to be used. Call out the BS and NAME THE DAMN COMPANY. Dodged a bullet there OP.

Security Engineer

Hi guys(Mainly HRs), 
              Recently I applied to one SaaS company for the position-Solution Engineer/Implementation engineer, I had 2 rounds and was done with both the rounds. As I was expecting results, I got this mail from the previous round interviewer saying ( See the below/above image).  It sounded very odd and strange to me and frustrating to hear this, I acknowledged it and mailed the interviewer and HR asking to  give any constructive feedback if there were any; Until now they haven't responded back. I feel better now but obviously very disappointed with such a reply, can any one of u from startups/ HRs from start-up Please clarify - Is this the way Start-up rejects candidates or I got unlucky in this situation?
Please help friends.

System Engineer

I've recently appeared for the Interview at Apple. Total 7 rounds and last round was with the HR. Till 6th round feedback was quite positive and in the 7th Round there was discussion that happened about Salary expectation. HR mentioned that she will check and get back with approved numbers and If I'm okay then they will proceed with releasing the offer letter. So I was expecting the same.

But One week later HR called and rejected me saying that another Candidate is selected for this role. I was heartbroken and devastated. When I asked for the feedback, She said they cannot share the feedback it's just that they felt another candidate is better fit than me so they are going ahead with that candidate. On the very next day of my rejection call, they opened the Same position again in the Careers site.

After 2 weeks again I called the same HR to understand If I could apply for the open position. She said that the Careers site it posted wrongly, the open position is not for my experience but it's for more experienced/senior Level. I could think that HR is not being transparent. This time again I asked for feedback, what went wrong or what could have been better, to which she replied that I was not clear on certain things and I was not transparent.

Background is : After 6 rounds were done, HR called me suddenly one day and informed me that I cleared all the rounds and asked me for the expectation. I thanked her and asked about the Role (IC3 or IC4 or IC2) that I would likely get So that I can do some research and get back.
She said she doesn't have clarity yet on the Role and mentioned mostly it would be IC3. So I asked her for some time to get back and 2 hours later I discussed my expectations. 
Then a week later, the Rejection call.

Not sure what went wrong. In my most recent call she mentioned that for some simple questions like expectations I was not giving answers properly. It's been 3 weeks and I still could not come out of that rejection.

Rejected After clearing all the rounds at Apple
