Did interview round with Karat. Such a weird experience with them. Interviewers say they have taken 1000 interviews. They have curated list of answers for every question they ask. Only if the keywords match with answers then you are selected else no. Do not waste time on this company especially if you are interviewing with companies like karat. Its like IAS exam, question-answer, question-answer. its not an interview, its an exam.

Same interview process described by others. Technical screen was a system design question. On site was 5 interviews: 2 coding, 1 system design, 1 values, and 1 hiring manager. I am guessing they only have a small handful of questions both for system design and coding that they reuse. I am somewhat mystified as to why I wasn't given an offer as I felt I did well on the coding and system design interviews. I can only assume that now that they're fully remote, they've got a nation full of candidates to choose from, so they can afford to be really choosey.
