Candidate-reported interview process

So first, there was this coding challenge about networking and buffering. Then a call with the recruiter where they asked some general technical questions, you can prep for those. After that, I spoke with the hiring manager, it was a mix of behavioral and technical stuff. The final stage was the onsite, which involved about 5-6 interviews covering behavioral, design, and algorithms.

So, the interview process involved a coding challenge that focused on TCP sockets. After that, there was a phone call with the recruiter, followed by a phone call with the hiring manager where they asked a technical question. Then, there were onsite interviews, which included 5 separate interviews with different people, and 3 of those were technical. They used Coderpad for the technical interviews.

I sent in my application and got a coding challenge. It was challenging and fun. I had a week to finish it, and I did. But this company or recruiter hasn't responded. It's a waste of your time, so don't bother.
