Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process had 4 rounds with a reporting lead, co-worker, CEO/founder, and another co-worker, plus an initial recruiter call. The recruiter call was fine, though they seemed a bit too keen on selling the company. They initially said there would be 3 rounds: 2 culture and 1 technical with the reporting manager. The first two rounds were good, meeting smart people. The third round was a bit off; the interviewer seemed confused about the company's sector (calling it Tech instead of Edtech). They asked about company culture and values, which weren't readily available online. Because it didn't go well, they added another round with a different stakeholder. I later saw reviews that confirmed my concerns about the culture and hiring process. Not meeting a founder but someone reporting to a previous interviewer made it feel like the decision was already made. The rejection wasn't a surprise. It's a good company with a good product, but the hiring approach made me realize the culture wouldn't fit.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process was all over the place. Since the company is based in Singapore, some interviews were super early or I got emails really late. I talked to the GM, a director, and the CEO. I was initially excited about the role and the product (a college app platform for K12), but I lost interest due to the long and drawn-out process, too much outreach, and the overall inconsistency. A big red flag was when the interviewer mentioned other people, by their first and last names, who were also interviewing from my current company. It felt unprofessional and made me question other aspects of their company culture, though I understand this might be typical for a fast-growing startup.
