Was reached out by a recruiter on LinkedIn. Scheduled a meeting with them. Interview felt a little off. Recruiter would ask a question and then move on to the next one without pausing or follow-ups, he was looking down the whole time reading the questions directly. You can tell he didn’t care what I was saying since the interview had a transcript recording. He then stated that the technical interview will be as difficult as FAANG because they have a high bar. He then says he hates when recruiters ghost candidates so I should expect an email within a week to know if I’ve moved on. It’s been a few weeks and no response. Granted, I could’ve reached out but if your whole spiel is not ghosting candidates and then you proceed to do so, I don’t want to follow up with you.

Hands down worst interview I have ever had. The first technical test was fine just basic questions. The second test was supposed to be a screen share code challenge. When i arrived the interviewer asked to see my prepared API which I didn't have, the email confirming the test didn't tell me to set up anything beforehand and i checked spam but got nothing so I had nothing to build off of. The interviewer then proceeded to rush the test and push me to make an APi but kept saying oh don't actually make the file structure and don't worry about interfaces etc and just make it functional. I was going to leave the interview but as someone had referred me I didn't want to make them look bad. Even though rushed I finished the API and described to him the preferred way of doing it. The response was, "the code structure could have been better organized" and rejected. Obviously it could've been better organized but he said just make it functional because we don't have time. Terrible way to interview. If the interview isn't prepared then reschedule and let me build something robust, don't decide to rush it.

30 min recruiter call, 1.5 hour technical discussion, 1.5 hour live coding, 2 hour system design, 30 min call with a senior leader. Process took multiple weeks - overly lengthy and onerous given what the company has to offer. Would avoid going through such a process again.
