Applied online. Got an email from recruiter to learn more and asked to schedule a tech interview. The recruiter was nice. The good part ends here. On the day of tech interview, the interviewer was the worst i have had to interview with. Called late. After which pasted a question and an arbitrary time limit. He wasn't interested in approach. I def reached the solution but he wasn't interested either. For a good while he was talking to someone else instead.
I didn't make it but even if i did i wouldn't have accepted.

coding online assesment virtual onsite. interviewers were professional and helpful. asked to deep dive on project. recruiter was responsive and could align with offer deadlines. was helpful with negotiations. coding problems were average difficulty.
Walking into the coding interview, I was taken aback when they asked about finding the K nearest restaurants based on coordinates. Just days before, I had stumbled on a mock on prachub.com that mirrored this question almost exactly. The interview felt straightforward, but I struggled with some behavioral questions. Overall, the experience was underwhelming; I expected more technical depth. After several rounds, they decided to go in another direction, which was disappointing given my prep efforts.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a list of restaurants with their coordinates and a user's location, find the K nearest restaurants
it was very easy, they ask basic programming questions, can be solved with minimal prep, however they ask a lot about why u want to work here, be prepared to talk for a long time
