HR asked to upload few documents and fill form. After one week HR round was taken.
4th Round - HR discussion
HR asked about salary details and expectations. They told that it will take 2 weeks to release offer letter once they get all internal approvals.
After one week, HR informed that one more technical round is required and scheduled in next 2 days.
Technical Round -> The interviewer was manager from another team and told that I will be hired for new team. He asked general questions and few technical questions (Completable Future, multithreading, Kafka)
After 2 days HR confirmed that I have cleared interview and the offer letter will be released in next 2 weeks due to internal approvals.
I got job offer from one another company and asked SC hr if they can expedite the approval process. Every time I enquired, HR told to wait max one more day. After waiting for 1 more week, I accepted other company offer and SC HR did not came back even after 2 weeks. Such an unprofessional HR team, it wasted so much time.
