Netskope interview questions

1st HR screening round where you will be asked why you want to change, why Netskope, what you have been doing etc. Next round was scheduled within 2 days. Following 3rd technical round was scheduled was scheduled on the same day evening after clearing the previous round. Followed up after about a week and was told I have cleared all the rounds so far and soon next rounds will be scheduled. After waiting for almost a month, I was told resource audit going on and hirings were frozen. After about two months, positions were reopened but got internal news that they had already hired someone. Question for Netskope and the recruiters, why did you waste the candidate's 2 months time? How ethical is it to hire someone while there were shortlisted contenders who cleared the rounds and were told by the recruiter that they will reach out once position reopens? And as a HR recruiter, please can you be more transparent and responsible in responding to candidates? I have literally lost count how many times I had called/ mailed the recruiter to followup!! Extremely bad experience.

My experience was very casual, but it was also quite lengthy. The entire process took about two months. The recruiter kept me informed about the progress and was very kind. Overall, it was interesting to be part of the interview process, but I think it could be more efficient to have two managers in the interviews to save time
