Interview
I first interviewed with a recruiter at Snyk who then ghosted me.
A few months later, a different recruiter reaches out to me. I mention that I do think I'm a good fit for the role and had previously spoken to someone there but that it went nowhere.
We scheduled a screening call where he walked me through the interview process which he said is FAANG style with a team matching process at the end. In my opinion this seems unnecessary for a startup that's still in the growth phase.
After asking the recruiter some questions, we ended the interview about 10 minutes before our allotted time. They mentioned the next step would have been a code review and leetcode style interview.

Interview
Interview process involves at least five rounds, the first four of which were:
1. Initial screening call
2. PR review exercise (in which one completes the exercise, then has a call with a couple of devs to discuss the results).
3. Coding exercise -- not a takeaway-home one but a timed one with one other dev.
4. Systems design exercise -- again, not take-home but on remote call with two devs.
I was rejected after the fourth round, which was not entirely unexpected as the two devs on that call seemed apathetic and clearly didn't want to be there and maybe that affected my confidence and ultimately my performance. I was disappointed to fall at so late a stage and am not sure exactly why I did. I asked for feedback -- twice -- and was ignored, which was irritating as I had invested a lot of time and effort in preparing for their interview exercises and felt the least they could do was give me some feedback. It is for that reason I've given a negative rating. I'm OK with being rejected -- it's part of the job-finding process -- but the complete lack of respect for my time and effort in not giving feedback despite asking for it twice is disappointing.

Question 1
In the screening call, I was asked a couple of the "usual" questions, e.g. to describe a project of which I was particularly proud. The PR review exercise centred around a function to build a dependency tree. The coding exercise I can't really remember now, to be honest, but it was fairly ordinary. The systems design one presented a diagram of an existing system and involved describing how to eliminate the bottlenecks and make it more scalable. The diagram was convoluted with a lot of text (and don't expect much clarification from the interviewers!).
