Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Please do not interview with this company, my interview process went on for over 90 days over 7 rounds and then after having a very positive feedback from the panel members and getting a confirmation from the HR regarding the offer.

My documents were also taken for verification and the negotiations happened, then on the day of releasing the offer they come back and say, they're undergoing some organizational resturcturing and become of which they would take more time to release the offer and it's been 2 months now and no one has reached out or responded for my queries post that.
I am writing this not because I didn't get the job. Fortunately upstox wasn't my only option, now I have joined in a much better and a bigger company in a leadership role.

If you are reading this, I just wish you don't go through this mess, all the best for your job hunt !
