Pros: The interview process was efficient, spanning screening to panel interviews quickly. I genuinely loved the team I met; they were the main reason I was so committed to this role. Cons: The post-offer experience was a disaster. After receiving a verbal offer, I was told the role was "paused due to organizational changes." I asked for further updates and was completely ghosted. The damage was real: Because I had a verbal offer and loved the team, I declined parallel interviews with other companies. I was also ready to resign from my current job. The lack of communication didn't just waste my time; it caused me to burn bridges with other potential employers and almost left me unemployed.

I only had the screening call so far. I was asked about my experience, why I am a good fit for this role, my motivation, what am I looking for in this role

First round of HR. Asked preliminary questions like willing to work hybrid, willing to commute and then asked about sponsorship. I mean we spend hours and hours learning about the company, does so much research, perfect our answers and they end up saying that we do not sponsor & cant move forward. These questions are answered while applying and HR can mail us with these questions than conducting an interview and keeping interviewers hope high during such market conditions.
