Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
Met with recruiter, was passed to manager for a practical test. Had to work through some sql problems. Didn’t get the job after that but they encouraged me to keep trying for a less senior role.
I applied through other source. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Fastly in May 2023
Interview
First meeting went well. Second meeting, interviewer came with questions that were so vague, no diagrams, not well thought out that it confused them as well as me. Gave the impression they weren't over concerned with being in the interview, and seemed bored to sum up the experience. I can understand why they are struggling to fill these roles when they have managers such as these responsible for hiring. I'm glad I found this out prior to working for this company. My advice if you have multiple options available to you, steer clear. Best part of the process, reaffirming how good I have it where I am.

Question 1
None really, just my previous experience. One specific question which was so vague, it was confusing at best.
