I had a pretty unprofessional experience interviewing for the Software Engineer I role in Portland, OR. After my initial recruiter call, it took nearly two weeks for the hiring manager to schedule the interview. During the interview, the hiring manager appeared disengaged and showed very little interest throughout the conversation. Following the manager interview, I didn't receive any updates for about two weeks despite following the process. Eventually, the recruiter responded, saying, *"We are fortunate to have narrowed our search and will hold on moving candidates forward at this time,"* and I later received the formal rejection email. Overall, the hiring process lasted 37 days. The lengthy delays, lack of communication, and overall candidate experience made the process feel unprofessional.

As a fresher, the first round of interview consited of an online coding test which had mcq's based on computer fundamental subjects such as OOP's , DBMS, OS and the had asked aptitude questions as well. They also had asked couple of coding questions one easy and another medium level. Threy had even asked SQL queries
