HR screening then takehome test: takehome requirements are sloppily written and tasks are easy to misunderstand; using inconsistent terminology and vague processes. whole thing feels super casual but then they want it done exactly as they thought when grading. basically you have to mind read.
they ask you to do this in 3 hours which nobody will ever do because they also ask for extra stuff (unit testing, frontend implementation) which is "optional" but you have to do if you want to stand a chance.

The interview process felt highly unprofessional and disengaged.
The recruiter joined the meeting late for a morning interview and immediately mentioned being tired and exhausted before turning off the camera. The entire interview lasted around 8 minutes despite a scheduled 30-minute slot, including the time I spent asking my own questions.
There was very little effort to understand my background or technical experience, and the interaction felt more like a checkbox exercise than a genuine evaluation process. The interviewer appeared uninterested throughout the conversation, which created the impression that the interview was being conducted only for process formalities rather than active hiring.
As a candidate, I invest time preparing, researching the company, and attending interviews professionally. It’s reasonable to expect the same level of respect and engagement from the hiring side.

I had 5 rounds interviews, a coding challenge, one technical, two behavioral interviews and just for my case I had one additional with my manager. Even though the process had a lot of interviews it was really fast, just taking 3 weeks from the start to when I recieve the offer, aditional to that somethin I like is they let you also meet the team so you know how is going to be working with them
