The interview process was average overall. The recruiter seemed disengaged which made the conversation feel a bit awkward and one-sided. While the questions themselves were straightforward, the lack of interaction made it harder to gauge the company culture or role expectations. Not a negative experience, but not particularly impressive either.
First round is kind of getting to know your real time problem solving skills by providing you to find a bug/add some function in their codebase in real time. Good if you have worked with large code base.
