Technical System Design

The interview process was pretty intense and focused a lot on systems design, covering both general theory and specific AWS topics related to architecture. The quality of the team was really high, better than other places I interviewed. I was super impressed and happy to get the offer.

Technical Coding

I went through 3 interviews: first a recruiter call, then a chat with an architect, and finally a whiteboard session with two architects. The recruiter said I did great, told me the pay, and asked about my start date. Then they said someone would call me after their vacation. After waiting a month, I emailed for an update and was told there was no change and no opportunity in the near future. I feel candidates deserve more respect. I will never work here.
