Technical Coding Behavioral
After a hackerrank challenge, I had 2 technical interviews and 1 HR one. The HR person was super direct, almost like a 90s manager, seemed emotionless. The second technical interviewer was really unprofessional, eating lunch during the interview, which was rude. They didn't explain the question well or give the right info to answer. I couldn't move forward. They tried to end the call, but I asked them to explain the solution. Then they gave the context they missed earlier. I was really surprised by the last technical interview. The technical questions they asked didn't make sense, like they just made them up.

It was a long process overall, but it was a really good chance to chat with many people from different parts of the company. This was super helpful because it let me check out my potential future coworkers and see if this place is actually a good fit for me. Technically, we covered a lot of stuff, and the people here seem really smart and focused on the right problems. All in all, it was a pretty good experience, and I met some great people.
