Technical Behavioral Coding
The interview process started out okay with the first couple of rounds going well. I thought I did great in all of them, but then there was nothing for a while about the next steps. No one followed up, and there was no accountability. I'm not sure how their recruitment coordinators operate. When I called them after a few days, they told me they needed to set up the next interview. Overall, it was a really bad experience interviewing with a company that has such talented engineers working with great technology.
