Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Recently interviewed by Co-founder. That was my third round. Still, they kept me on hold assuring that all reviews for my interview were positive and still wanted one more interview round. Then they didn't contact at all. When I contacted them, I got to know that their HR assumed I was not ready to relocate so they didn't contact. So either they don't know who they interview or they just assume things about candidates. Then, two days later, they said they have hired someone and let me know if any requirements in future. Just waste of time. I recommend not to apply here if you really are applying for job change and one should not depend on this company's assurances. They will just interview you and waste you time without letting you know anything about the decision.
