Phone screen and then onsite. Phone screen was pretty easy. Onsite was scheduled for 3.5 hours but went until 4.5 hours leaving me very exhausted. The panel was technically strong. I liked their questions. I was surprised that the director also wanted to conduct a tech interview. I really wish the interviewers gave some breaks or checked if I needed drinks/snacks considering the fact that the interview was so long. I had to cancel other interviews since this one left me exhausted. Felt I wasted time/energy since I did not get offer anyways.

I went through 4-5 rounds of interviews for a full-time role, meeting with a project manager, project lead, backend developer, frontend developer, and HR. Initially, the fast-paced work environment was manageable, but it soon became miserable. The manager was strict, and we were given a heavy workload with tight deadlines. We were required to complete a large number of story points every sprint, and the manager would closely scrutinize our time estimates. If we estimated a certain amount of time based on our experience, the manager would consult with a senior developer who had been with the company for 8-9 years, and they would inevitably estimate a significantly shorter time frame. The manager would then change the points, and if we disagreed, we would be asked to break down each story point hour by hour and justify our estimate. Completing a single ticket was a nightmare, and the manager would constantly belittle us. There was no respect. Eventually, most of my team members quit, which I discovered later when speaking with them.
