Got referred by a friend for their newly formed Generative AI team
HR reached out within 2 days and scheduled the first round.
Round 1 (Discussion – 45 mins):
Topics: Python fundamentals, Gen AI, Vector DB usage, Cache implemetation etc.
- No coding; purely technical discussion. Went well, felt confident.
No updates for ~3 weeks despite follow-ups.
After a month, HR informed me I had cleared Round 1.
Round 2 Scheduling Issues:
Interviewer didn’t join the scheduled call (waited ~15 mins).
HR said the panel agreed for the interview but noone is picking up her phone.
After 3 days, interviewer pinged me directly in whatsapp to reschedule.
I couldn’t attend at his suggested time and requested rescheduling — no reply after that.
Overall Impression:
The process felt unstructured and unprofessional, with poor communication from HR and interviewer.
