After completing a series of interviews with GE Healthcare—an initial screening, two coding interviews, one system design, and one final behavioral interview—I was informed by the HR manager that I was not selected. When I inquired about the reason, she referenced feedback from the technical and system design rounds. It was disappointing to learn that these early rounds had been a deciding factor after the process had continued to the final behavioral stage. While it felt like a waste of time, I understand that companies often continue with all planned interviews for multiple candidates before making a final decision, which can sometimes lead to this situation. I finally came to know from one of my friends that it may be because of the H1B candidate, they might have rejected me.
