Coding Technical Behavioral
I applied through campus and the first round was an online assessment with 3 coding questions. The next round was a Technical + HR Interview where they asked questions from my resume and some basic coding questions. The final round was with the Hiring Manager, and it involved just a few behavioral questions.

The recruiter first reached out about the job, asking standard questions already in the application. They mentioned the manager's budget wouldn't cover the higher end of the salary range. Then, an interview with the hiring manager was set up. Nobody showed up for the Zoom call, and the recruiter later said it was due to 'technical difficulties.' They rescheduled for a few days later, but I was too annoyed by being ghosted without a good reason and the salary issue to care about the interview itself. Honestly, the whole experience was pretty bad.
