Very bad experience. Just had one call with the recruiter, the call was constantly disconnecting like a bad signal and couldn't hear the recruiter most of the time. I kept saying I can't hear you and she kept saying "Now better"? Eventually in the end I said yes better now and she continued. Communication was so bad. In the end she told me she will check if I'm a good fit and contact me back. As expected she contacted me back with rejection.

(It was for JFrog Acquire Qwak) The interviewer created a "gotcha" situation that doesn't reflect real engineering scenarios. Very poor experience. This kind of confusing setup tests interview skills more than engineering skills, which isn't fair.

I went through three interviews: a coding challenge testing algorithms, a system design session focusing on scalability and trade-offs, and a behavioral interview where I shared experiences about leadership, problem-solving, and working effectively within cross-functional teams.
