This company wastes your time with fake interviewers who lie. All 5 video interviews felt like that. They use surveillance and know your other interview statuses before you even start, as one interviewer let slip on camera. Most interviewers were incompetent and arrogant, faking supportive attitudes and smiles. One lied about their high performance reviews and bonus percentage, which their performance didn't match. HR lied the most. Interruptions ruined communication, there were eye rolls, and a common sales pitch. One interviewer bragged about their house and gave a racist comment after mentioning benefits, while another clearly hadn't read my resume. Despite high benefits, the interviewers were fake and incompetent, and the rejection email was full of lies.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

I applied in June for an IT Associate New Grad position and went through three interview rounds, with the whole process lasting three months. Getting feedback from recruiters was difficult, requiring many follow-ups. The first round was a virtual interview with timed behavioral questions, answered via video or text. The second round involved an interview with a recruiter and a solutions engineer who provided feedback and answered questions; this felt more like an info session about the company and role. The final round was with engineering managers and the associate VP, focusing mainly on standard behavioral questions. The interview difficulty was manageable, but I was surprised by the lack of technical questions. The wait for feedback was extremely long.

Technical Behavioral Coding

The whole thing took about 4 weeks. I applied on WayUp and got an invite for a digital interview in a couple days. About two weeks later, they emailed to set up a phone screen, which was the second interview. The next day, they had me schedule three more interviews over 2-3 days. Two were behavioral and one was technical. I really suggest using the STAR method for behavioral questions and be yourself. For the technical part, I brushed up on my Data Structures knowledge. I had a HackerRank test where they asked about raising exceptions, using sets and hashmaps, and basic math for floor and remainder. Honestly, it wasn't too hard technically compared to other places. The behavioral interview is the tricky part, though. Try to tell a story for each question and keep the conversation going. Best of luck!
