Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Extremely unprofessional management by Qualys. They called after 1 month of applying for an in-office interview where they were supposed to complete all rounds and close the role in one day. Despite giving a designated time slot, they were not following it and my interview was delayed as there were more than 30 candidates called.

The actual interview was good.

After the interview, they made the candidates wait for hours, only to come back and tell us to leave for the day, with no concrete answer on the next steps. Additionally, they mentioned to people that there would be additional rounds online later, like assignments. The entire process was senseless, and they completely ghosted me and most people after the interview, wasting our entire Saturday.
