tl;dr: They say they try to uplift candidates during the interviews, but if you’re not from FAANG they will go out of their way to find any little reasons possible to make you fail. I felt judged by some of my interviewers because I was not coming from FAANG. I received feedback that the project I recently worked on was not technical enough, even though it serves 1M unique users per month. Almost everyone I interviewed had half the years of experience I had and were all coming from FAANG. There is a huge sense of elitism when talking to them. Most of the Interviewers were pretty much fake nice. They seem like great people and they reassure you that everything you are doing in the interview is fine but will stab you in the back when grading your performance. During one of my answers, I asked the interviewer if they wanted more details on that particular subject and they answered "no". Later, the feedback included that I did not go into detail about this particular subject. Another feedback I received was that I asked too many clarifying questions on the scope of the work. Truly mind-blowing. Their questions/exercises were not particularly tricky but after receiving their final feedback, it appears that they are very picky and are looking for any little thing to make you fail.
