After hackerrank challenge, they scheduled an interview for me. Hr came 10 minutes late and she was speaking indian accent but person in my mail has different origin (I checked from linkedin, also she didn't open the camera). She ask me similar, strange questions and I think they don't look your resume before the meeting. Actually, they have already eliminate before and It's formality. Don't waste time with this company .
