I got reached out by a lead directly to schedule interviews, and I set up three interviews back to back using a Calendly link. Each one went well, and the interviewers seemed to like me and told me I passed and was moving on. After the third interview, I didn't hear anything for over a week, even though the last interviewer said they would tell the next interviewer to send me a link for the next interview. Since there was no recruiter, I asked the interviewers for an update. Instead of a response, I got a generic rejection email with no explanation. I followed up a few times but never got any feedback. I'd be careful interviewing here because it felt like a waste of time, and they didn't communicate well.

Technical Coding Behavioral

The interview process involved about 5 to 6 technical rounds. Some of these rounds included a mix of technical, managerial, and behavioral aspects. The initial round was a screening where my logic, algorithms, and Javascript skills were assessed. Subsequent rounds also featured coding questions. Overall, the interview experience was quite good and presented a higher level of difficulty compared to typical service-based companies.

Technical Coding System Design

There were about 5 to 6 technical interviews. The HR person wasn't super clear on the exact number of rounds. After finishing the first technical round, I found out there would be four more interviews. They mostly asked DSA and system design type questions.
