Applied for one role, called for another role with different requirements. First level interview went smoothly, HR team assessed communication skills with a one-on-one chat. Second level technical interview was not as accommodating, too many technical questions and bland scenario-based Q&A. Understandable that they required individuals with some know-how on certain theoretical industry knowledge, however, some questions felt like "gotcha"-type where it felt like you were actively being targeted at your weak points. Zero updates/follow-up on performance in interview or final decision.

The interview round went reasonably well. I answered questions on my background, hobbies, technology, and hometown. I faced a brief network issue initially, which affected my confidence for a moment, but I recovered and completed the interview. Overall, it was a good learning experience, and I am hopeful about the outcome.
