Interview
Recruiter contacted over LinkedIn. Scheduled initial phone screen tech interview. But, they did not call me on the scheduled time, rescheduled again, didn't call again, rescheduled again and finally called on the 3rd time. The person who interviewed me was rude, seemed like he was in hurry to get the interview done just for the sake of it. If you don't have the time to take the interview in a professional manner, why waste the time of candidate?
I believe I gave the answer to the question they asked including edge-cases, still got a rejection email saying they wanted to hire someone with more coding experience. Not writing this review because I didn't get selected for next round of interview, but purely because of the bad experience I had with the interview process.
Totally a negative experience, just like using their app and website.
The overall interview process was positive and well-structured. It consisted of five rounds in total:
Round 1: Initial recruiter screening call.
Round 2: Hiring manager interview.
Round 3: Frontend technical problem via CoderPad.
Round 4: Final loop (3 rounds).
