The technical interview process was really thorough and structured, and I liked how deep the questions went. But, I finished the process not really knowing what the actual hiring criteria or decision factors were. After finishing both the core and bonus technical parts, and getting all the answers right, way more than what was asked, and still having time left during the assessment, the final rejection was just because of 'where the company is at,' with no specific feedback. For folks who put in a lot of prep time, having more concrete feedback or clearer role calibration would make the experience better. Being upfront about changing priorities or shifting role expectations would also help manage expectations properly. All in all, the technical bar seemed high, but the clarity around decision-making and alignment could be improved. I'd say don't bother applying, they'll just waste your time.

Case

The process felt cold, transactional, and impersonal. I submitted my resume online and got a super quick followup to move straight to the case study. Just like others said, I did the pretty thorough case study and then got a rejection from a bot. It's really unclear if there was actually an open job. This is not a good way to handle things and wastes people's time.

Case

I applied online via LinkedIn. About a week later, I got an email saying I'd been shortlisted. Then, an automated email came with a case study to solve, and I had a week to do it. The case study was about optimizing workforce for a chat process customer support center with fluctuating demand. It was pretty straightforward, and I submitted it on time. Unfortunately, I wasn't selected. My advice: don't hand over the full solution in the case study; either protect it or save the complete solution for the actual interview.
