Interview
The recruiter was very responsive and gave me updates in a timely manner. The first round was a recruiter call which was conversational and pleasant. The second round was a hiring manager screen. The third round was one coding interview (game of life as others mentioned) and a system design question. The fourth and final round was another coding interview (different than the first leetcode style coding interview), and a technical deep dive interview where you go into your background/experience for 30 mins.
I had to provide the coding environment/IDE and same for system design. I preferred this as it allowed me to use the IDE im most comfortable with vs using coder pad, etc.
The process was quick and efficient. Everyone I met was pleasant and nice.

I applied online. I interviewed at Rula in May 2025
Interview
Went through all rounds of interviews, which included a recruiter screening, hiring manager screening, and two coding interviews. The algorithms were not what I expected for this position, but in hindsight weren't too bad. I was offered feedback after my rejection, but the company did not follow through. This was truly disappointing considering their promised culture of feedback.
Talked to a recruiter for about 20 minutes about my background. Talked about the company for a little bit, and then asked me a few questions about my previous positions and a few "Tell me a time when..." questions. Tech stack lined up, but got a reject email a few days later.

Question 1
Tell me about a time where you messed up. Tell me how you fixed it.
I’m not sure what the whole process looks like. I ended up deciding that I needed the flexibility of post time/contract work, so I withdrew my name from consideration after recruiter screen. I think the next step would have been a hiring manager screen?
