The application said they prefer certain races and genders to apply for the position. For the sake of having a chance at an interview I wrote that I was a race that I actually am not, but I didn't say I was a woman even though they prefer women to apply. During the screening interview I admitted I wasn't the race I wrote on the application which seemed like it put off the interviewer because the rest of the interview really felt much more awkward than it had started out. I don't get how a big company like this can openly discriminate against people based on sex and race and get away with it.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leetcode 1564. Put Boxes Into the Warehouse I.
Follow up: what is maximum total box sizes.
Recruiter call, tech round, onsite and rejection call. They sent me an email about a week after the last onsite and asked me to schedule a call on the same day. I scheduled a call to listen 30 second long rejection notice. A half of interview rounds were horrible. Interviewers were not prepared and arrogant.
Good experience not the best outcome. Was 1000% sure I completed all coding and sys design but was told didn't get enough signal for the competency round. Overall very organized but not very satisfied with the response.
