Interview
Interview processes are very slow and complex. Whenever you apply to some role they take months to consider or to take application to next stage, and many times job opening goes on freeze, so I think these openings are just for show and are a facade for their shareholders. Also even though company have 90 days notice period, they dont entertain candidates having such lengthy notices.
