Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Don't take this seriously. HR doesn't have the professionalism to respond to text and emails. They ghosted me, never gave me a feedback and it was a waste of time to interview with them.
After 5 rounds if you are ghosted then thats a lot of your hours wasted.
Hiring manager was disinterested in the interview. She read cliche questions off a list and wasn't interested in my answers. She only wanted to move on to the next question and get it over with. Besides her and the HR which doesn't care about informing or updating everyone else was nice and the interview was adjusted as per my previous experience.
