This candidate went through a 4-round interview process for a Software Engineer role at MediBuddy, with the unfortunate outcome of being ghosted.

Round 1: Exploratory Round (Hiring Manager): This round focused on behavioral and project-related questions. The discussion revolved around the most complex project the candidate had worked on, the problem-solving approach, tradeoffs made, and the candidate's expectations and reasons for seeking a change.

The candidate expressed disappointment as all rounds seemed to go well, but they were ultimately ghosted.
