The experience felt tense and confusing. I was asked to write a program, and my code was correct, but I still did not move forward. Later, I felt the HR questions were off-target or silly.

Even when I answered those questions correctly, I was rejected. The outcome did not match my technical result. By the end, it felt less like an assessment of my programming and more like an internal decision I could not affect, which left a sour taste.

Location: India. Overall feedback: Negative. Offer status: no offer.
