Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I was interviewed for the position of Principal Engineer. Had 2 rounds of technical and in depth discussions on topics. After 2 rounds running close to 3 weeks time, they mention your profile is not suitable which could have been done during resume screening itself. Even after seeing the reviews here about long interview process and no proper interview standards and feedback, I took a chance and my time was wasted in their interview process itself without respecting my time and efforts. And regarding the interview I am quite sure of my performance being an experineced person in the industry.
