Interview process

The main technical and System design Interview was with the panel. It was a very long interview that took about 2 hours. All of the interviewers seemed very satisfied with my explanations and reasoning. I kept on engaging them during the session, my system design explanations were also very accurate, and pinpointed. I had another session, also about an hour long; he mostly focused on my previous projects and my overall experience in the market. During my second interview, that single interviewer (who was absent in the first one) kept on rehearsing that they needed someone with hands-on experience on Azure, which was very confusing for me, and maybe in the end, that became the reason for my being rejected.
