HR call, 45 minutes -> Hiring manager interview, 1 hour -> Take-home task, which is supposed to take 6-8 hours but actually takes around 10-12 hours -> Code review with a single SWE, 1 hour -> Full working day with prospective colleagues, ~6 hours -> Final interview. As you can see, the process is quite time-consuming. The interviewer mentioned that they enjoyed reading my code because it was well-structured in a familiar manner. There were many tests, both unit and integration. I received a few reasonable questions about some decisions and how they could be improved. However, I was declined after this stage. I was ghosted after asking for feedback. I spent about 13 hours on this application and received no feedback at all, which is quite frustrating. I believe there should be some feedback for the candidate after submitting an assignment with around 2,000 lines of code.

1. First 15 minutes are dedicated to your test assignment that you have to do prior to interview. 2. Second 15 minutes are dedicated to general technical questions 3. Last part of the interview is dedicated to your own questions
