      3 total rounds 1. 30m phone screen where I was asked about my experience and some basic Java-related questions. 2. 1h technical interview where I was asked more Java-related questions and had to implement a sorting algorithm by hand. 3. Final 4h interview where multiple interviewers that spanned system architecture, coding/algorithms, and behavioural questions. After all that process, the recruiter never bothered to get back to me. I followed-up after a week and was informed that they're still making final decisions. No answer after that.
