After applying at python job board it started with hr who taught San Jose was actually San Hose ! The interview moved to technical rounds which went average. Both asked from resume submitted but somewhere my memory was not sharp due to multiplicity of domains I work on as freelancer. A casual interview by a Biden supporter, which ended me being critical of Bill Gates. I always felt technology has its own challenges than binary of political parties. The only problem with them was their inability to reply by mail or give a feedback after interview regardless of interview even after mailing. Some of messages are still unanswered/ unread on whatsapp for a week - in my view that should not happen even if the interview was on the other side of the US elections! UPDATE: HR contacted and offered the job,( the day after I wrote this review) and said there was internal mechanism which was taking place where there were choices and I got mixed review. We then had first video whatsapp call. Since its a pandemic all are WFH currently. Rest of call was friendly and accommodating. I accepted the offer.
