Pathetic Interview process. Recruiter reached out to me via email for an introduction call. I confirmed the interview date and time. 1 minutes before the interview she email me to confirm again. I replied immediately. She did not call me that day. I followed up got no reply from her. After 20 days she reached out to me again. We again confirmed the date and time for a call. Again 1 minute before the interview she changed the meeting date and time to next day without even asking me if I am free. Anyways I was free so I accepted the change. She called and asked egenral questions about my current role and some techincal questions. After few days I received an email for 1st technical interview. On the day of interview the person that joined the call was not the one I was told I will be interviewing with. Even he did not know that this is 1st round of the interview. Then he realized that there has been a miscommunication and started the interview. He asked me about 40 theoretical questions from google in 1 hr and expects you to know everything. What a mess of a company.

Overall their communication was horrendous: it was a challenge to schedule, the recruiting team was not forthcoming with what I should expect at any stage, I had barely any time to ask questions of them, I was never clear what I would be working on or who I would be working with, and they did not keep their word to get back to me with feedback the day after the onsite - they sent me a form rejection email a week later! I applied for a Senior Software Development role. A recruiter contacted me asking if I would be open to a mid-level position instead. I agreed that would be acceptable and provided a few dates and times when I was available to talk to her about it. It took her several days to get back to me - I had to ping her to ask if any progress had been made because I was booking other interviews during that time. When she scheduled it, I asked what I should expect with no answer. That first phone screen was exclusively her asking me questions most other companies ask in their application ("will you need relocation assistance?", "will you require sponsorship to work in the US?") followed by a barrage of CS and Web development trivia quiz questions (runtimes of different algorithms, differences in types of data structures, to explain closures in JavaScript, etc.) and then asking me to tell her my years of experience with a list of different technologies. She also didn't send me the job description for the mid-level role after I asked for it at least three times. When they scheduled my "tech screen", I was provided a coderpad link, so I assumed I would be doing a coding challenge. I explicitly asked so I could confirm that but received no answer. The developer who interviewed me was nearly 10 minutes late for our call. But he spent nearly the rest of our one hour scheduled time asking me more of those quiz-style trivia questions. It was exhausting. They certainly seemed to care more about what I knew than how I would approach problems. Nearly immediately after that call, I was informed they wanted to move me forward to the "onsite". At no point in either of those calls was there any time to ask them any questions about the company or team I would be working with! The onsite was scheduled and I asked no fewer than 3 times what I should expect to speak about with each of my interviewers so that I could prepare appropriately. I did not get an answer from them until the day before. And then the recruiter told me what turned out to be incorrect information and it was terribly vague: in this order, they were meant to be "algorithms", "coding", "frontend", "get to know more about you" but also "technical" and "hands-on". She also asked me to send her a copy of my resume at this point - the day before the onsite! When I spoke with the recruiter the following day during the interview, I asked her if any of the people I was going to interview with were the manager for this role. She said no, that it was for a new team and the manager hadn't been hired yet, but to ask the next interviewer about it. In that next interview, the person told me they never put new engineering hires on brand new teams. So much miscommunication! My algorithms challenges went well and I felt like I had a good rapport with the interviewer. The frontend challenge wound up being next (not what I had been told - and they also didn't tell me I would be expected to implement a frontend project. I thought it would be more general frontend questions). I couldn't remember anything! After an hour of me struggling through the frontend, I had to move on to a coding challenge with a Developer. The challenge itself wasn't too bad, but I was flustered after the previous interview, and using CodeSandbox was also new to me. I didn't take as much time as I should have to read the requirements and write out pseudocode to approach the problem. The code I wrote was sloppy and I was not proud of it. Finally, I talked with a C-level executive for a non-technical round. Our conversation was genial, but he did ask me a couple of high-level technical questions (how I would address a complaint about the site being slow, where I would look to optimize code, etc.). I was also exhausted by the time I got to him.
