Entrevista
Initial screen is a system design interview which was fine, it a random tech rep that had no context of my team though which was not great.
After that there are 5 rounds...
- another system design interview for some absurd reason
- A behavioral
- A general meeting with the hiring manager (finally)
- An OO live coding
- Algo live coding
So practically it’s pretty much an entire workday you need to devote to this including 'breaks'. Also, 15 minutes of questions each time where I literally give the same intro of myself each time which ends up being more than an hour of my time just introducing myself over all the instances…. I also got the same variations on some questions each time so ended up telling the same story over and over.
The coding tool was a free POS that was essentially a text editor and made the live coding more painful than it already is. This technical part could have been reduced by 2 also. Zero reason for 2 system designs and the live coding had enough overlap to be redundant.
Really bad experience overall.
System Design Technical Screening: I had a screening interview with a very biased interviewer. He did not provide an exact question or clear requirements to work on. He started with one system-related topic, then later jumped to another topic. He seemed to intentionally make the conversation convoluted and made it seem as though I was the one who did not understand the question he asked. The interviewer should have provided pre-written requirements; instead, the process felt very unfair. I spent 10 days preparing for this interview.

The interview process was terrible, the senior recruiter had no respect to the candidate and extremely lack of professionalism. He sent me an invite which specifically marked a phone call as the meeting method. 10 minutes passed the scheduled time, there was no call and no message, I sent an email asking if he still intended to have the meeting and still no reply, after that I checked LinkedIn and found he shoot me an message asking me to join the zoom meeting, when I joined he already left. I sent him a linkedin message clarifying this, and used the original schedule email to request a new meeting on one of his available spots, still he just ghosted with no communication.
One of the worst recruiter I have met in my 20+ year career.
Coincidently some time back another recruiter from the company pinged me about opportunity with the company, I checked the company's career site, and mentioned one specific position that I was mostly interested. Afterwards there was no reply whatsoever. The repeated pattern shows the true nature how the company treats its candidate, reflecting how it would treat its employees. Absolutely terrible!

The interview process involved 5 total interviews. A systems design screening followed by 4 interviews (2 coding, 1 system design, 1 behavioral), with one of them being on site. The process was overall very smooth with fast follow-up between the screen and full interview scheduling. The recruiter was transparent, and the interviewers were all involved during the interviews, following lines of thinking and asking probing questions.
