Pretty standard loop starting off with a recruiter talk. The salary was lower than I was hoping for, less than I make now, but I was still willing to give it a go if the team and position were a good fit. The recruiter talk was pretty typical - talks of salary, the company, a bit about my experience.
Moved on to the technical screen with two other engineers and it was probably one of the most low effort, awkward interviews I’ve had to go through. We spent maybe 30 seconds on introduction and immediately launched into the coding portion. The coding part was a “take home” problem where you work on it by yourself. The interviews dropped off and allowed me to work by myself for over an hour. That part I actually liked. But the interview itself was awkward and whenever I talked to the other two engineers, they very much made me feel like they were completely uninterested in me, my experience, and the interview in general.
It has been a few weeks now and I’ve been ghosted, haven’t heard anything. Wouldn’t waste my time interviewing here again.
Only did the 1st round. It was a medium Leetcode question. The interview was only for 30 min. Their compiler threw an unexpected error, which even the interviewers couldn't fix
Terrible scheduling. Difficult company to deal with. Will not contact again. Pay was below industry average for the location. Misleading job description. Benefits below standard. Hope everyone avoids this place
In total, there were five interviews. Three of them were more technical and the other two or more about your background. The technical interviews were pretty standard simple to medium Leetcode questions.

Question 1
I was asked about how we kept metrics in my previous job. When I told him that this was something we didn’t really do, he continued to harp on this question for the entirety of the interview, as if it was something that would be very difficult for me to learn.
