Varun's performance in the interview was notably below expectations. His responses often lacked depth and relevance to the questions posed, reflecting a significant gap between the benchmark responses and his actual answers. This gap was particularly evident in his inability to provide detailed examples of his work, especially concerning Magento and digital transformation strategies. His communication was often unclear and at times, he failed to answer the questions directly, which raises concerns about his suitability for the role of IT Director, which demands strong leadership and clear communication skills.
