After seven 45-minute interviews, plus an initial long chat with a recruiter, and getting good feedback each time, I was told that they reevaluated their team's technical needs and wouldn't move forward at that time. So, what was mostly a good experience turned out to be a huge waste of time and effort (and the interviewers' too!). No clue if they get that or care; I would have appreciated it if they'd ended the process sooner.

Technical Coding
The HR called and asked some basic questions. Even though I told them I haven't worked with Java for 5-7 years and am currently using C++, they kept asking Java questions. We managed to solve the interview question, but I don't know why they rejected me. It felt like a fake interview process, so be careful.
