I think it was very helpful Scheduling team scheduled Initial Screen . It was around 2 leadership principles Then message from sourcer told me i am going to next round. Had a phone screen and then 5 Virtual Interviews Got a rejection in 2 days time but the panel recommended i be considered for Sr Engineer Role since i did well in Leadership principles. I did not take up that opportunity. Cannot apply for 1 years due to cooling period
