Hi,

Current Employment:
Company : DELL EMC
YOE : 10+
Designation : Senior software engineer

On 31st Jan 2025, I got a mail to complete Online Assessment(OA).
I completed solution for 1 question and I could not complete another solution.

On Feb 5th, I got a call asking, whether I will be available for Feb 7th interviews.
I was informed that there will 3 technical rounds and 1 Managerial round of interview.

First 2 rounds were scheduled, and later based on the performance of previous rounds, I would be called for next rounds.

First round: (1 hour)
I was asked to design and code a simple problem of stats collection for a website.

Second round: (1 hour)
Few questions on OS concepts.
I was asked to code a simple program for parsing strings and getting few values.

Within 30 mins of completing 2nd round, I got a call from the HR to attend 3rd round.

Third round: (1 hour)
The interviewer asked only system design of my current work and few questions on performance and throttling on the same design.

In all 3 rounds, interviewers were cool and supportive.

After 3rd round, I have not heard anything from the HR.
No response to the call and mail.

Did anyone attend 4th round on the same day? or is there any updates from HR?

Thanks.

Update: After 7 days, I could see the Status : Not Selected in Action Center
