Probably the most awful interview process I've ever seen. While the first initial email clearly defined what the process was going to be, which was a plus, the first 'technical' interview was terrible. I've never experienced an interview where a company had absolutely zero interest in who I was, what I've built or how I've solved anything within my career. The call began with 'This is the start of the interview...' and proceeded to ask a couple of odd 'gotcha' questions, especially for a senior position, while not asking a single question revolved around the tech stack they use - React. It was baffling. It then ended with some leetcode 'live' exercise (they gave no warning about) that they pulled off the internet.

It's really uncanny how similar the entire process and feedback was compared to how others have reported! The interview process was just super time consuming. Not really difficult or challenging in any way. Most of the time was spent on a coding project (8+ hours). The follow up interview then consisted mostly of the interviewer watching me add MORE features to the coding project! They left no time at the end for me to ask them questions. This place is just very inconsiderate of your time as a whole. As others experienced, I, too, wasn't moved on to the final round and was told that it was because they were moving forward with someone who "more directly aligns with our needs for the role". This was reiterated when I asked for more specific feedback (of which they could give none, other than "we went with another candidate" although I was "very thoughtful and experienced"). Yet two days later they reposted the same exact job in a popular forum. So while they was extremely hospitable and friendly, it's clear they were simply lying. They likely are not even actually looking to hire at all and are probably using this as an opportunity to train their current staff on interviewing. Overall extremely unprofessional, duplicitous, and disrespectful of their candidate's time.
