Applied for market place tech services backend role. Had one online technical interview and one onsite interview with the hiring manager. Did not pass the final round. Overall the process was quite smooth and fast.
It was a great interview experience. The interviewer asked some technical questions and even had me do some live coding. I really enjoyed the experience and felt confident afterwards. It was definitely a positive experience.
