The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Lilt in July 2024
Interview
Applied online, got a call back talked with HR
Got in a call with hiring manager didn't hear back for a couple of weeks. Then got asked to schedule 3 technical interviews with engineers.
Got through them and have been ghosted for a bit over a month and a half now. I've sent some follow up emails to the hr but have given up hope.
I also got accused of cheating twice in my first technical interview with one of the engineers. Which was extremely rude.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Lilt (New York, NY) in Apr 2022
Interview
4 rounds, 1 recruiter 2 technical 1 hm I was told there would be 1 CEO but did not have that. The hiring manager says you will hear back in 1-2 days. Don't hear anything back in a week from the recruiter. Then says we are interested in moving forward and asks for my numbers because apparently their bands are from 2017. I quote a mid range I am surprised they can't do my numbers. Weird they will be able to hire good talent with what they are offering. 135k base for bay area senior software engineers. You gotta be kidding me

Question 1
Relevant question based on language translation , showed the business use case and then talked me through it to understand my thought process on how I would approach the challenge and then asked me to code it. Overall it was medium difficulty but I haven't seen anything like this anywhere else.
