Candidate-reported interview process
There are 3 interviews in total. The first 2 are technical screening. In the first, you walk one of the engineers through a project you did. The second, they ask computer design questions.
There were 2 rounds in total: the first was a 1-hour technical screening and the second was a 3-hour onsite interview. The interview experience was generally good, although the last interviewer seemed uninterested, joined late, and wanted to finish quickly, which wasn't ideal.
This was the first time in my career that a recruiter rescheduled my interview and then didn't show up for the new time. When I followed up, he totally ghosted me. A.H. are his initials. I had to take days off from work for this interview and it's really sad that this happened. It probably happens a lot at the company.
