The interview process consisted of 3 discussion rounds and 1 offer discussion with Hiring manager
First and second round was mostly DSA based where two questions were asked(One was easy and other medium) and told to code and get the correct output.
Third round was with the hiring manager where we had general discussion about debugging the problems and getting the solutions for them.

Entrevista
I went through their complete interview process and was left very disappointed with the way it ended.
I cleared three highly technical rounds, each of which was challenging and in-depth. The interviewers in those rounds clearly understood my skills and selected me through each stage, which gave me confidence that my capabilities were being fairly evaluated.
After that, I was scheduled for a managerial round, which was not technical at all. I am still not sure whether I was rejected in this final round or afterwards. If the rejection was based on this stage, it raises a serious concern: were the three technical rounds not enough to validate my abilities? Since I would have been working closely with the technical team who had already approved me, why should a non-technical managerial discussion outweigh those evaluations?
To make matters worse, there was no timely communication. After completing all four rounds, I heard nothing for over a week. Only after I personally followed up with HR did I receive a rejection mail on the same day. The lack of transparency, delayed response, and absence of constructive feedback made the whole process feel unprofessional and discouraging.
