HR reached out quick and prompt, but response once rejected was slow. Overall quite a good experience with fast turnaround between rounds and HR team was very responsive. Started with a phone interview, followed by a few rounds of in person interview. Questions asked were standard for the industry.

I got a call from the external recruiter for screening call. I was surprised that the recruiter does not have basic knowledge of the phd programme which it is an educational degree. I was also surprised that they want to know if I have any planned holiday. I told her I plan to take holiday during Christmas and she doesn't know what is Christmas. Imagine getting rejected for the role by the people who do not have basic knowledge.
