Interview
Usual process (phone screen with a coderpad question, virtual onsite with 2 coding rounds, system design, and values/soft-skills, questions are the same as they were in Nov 2023). With the exceptions of 1 of the coding rounds, the interviewers are incredibly disinterested in the interview experience, with cold 1-word answers for everything, which made it feel like this was a huge waste of time for both them and me.

Initial recruiter phone call followed by technical phone screen. Question was a simple data parsing to extract/aggregate JSON data. Interview was friendly, and wrapped up with closing questions. I received a rejection email a week later, with no details.

Interview
I was surprised by how cumbersome this interview was, several rounds, on top of take home project. It's really rigorous for a company that isn't FAANG level. Honestly a take home and a discussion of a take home is enough technical signal, instead its take home, coding, take home extension live and systems design, plus values and behavioral session. It's a huge time investment for pay and benefits that are not very competitive.

Interview
medium difficulty, or easier if you look up the q+a's before. one interviewer was late, and had the nerve to mark off points for time. so i did not get a job.
