I got invited to the first interview. I was not selected further. The interview went for 45 minutes and it felt like a waste of time. HR asks you questions answers to which are literally mentioned in your resume and also occasionally throws in some behavioral questions. The recruiter writes down your answers and then you are evaluated for the next stage. It would make much more sense if the selection was based first on technical skills (test task), and then on behavioral followed by technical rounds with teams. Let recruiters ask only behavioral questions. The first stage could be a 15 minutes call to get in touch and chat about the position, considering that there is a test task. Also later in the process you are asked for references which is old school. The recruiter was very nice though.

The process was smooth, and I really liked it. There were a lot of good questions that made it engaging and insightful. It was quite long but well-structured and thorough overall.
