Behavioral Technical Case
I had an interview with the recruiter and then a take home case study assignment, which then led to three final interview rounds. I felt like the leads I interviewed with were inexperienced and only asked basic questions. One interviewer had a really bad attitude and when asked about her career path, she just said she likes sales and wants to make money, which I thought was a bad answer for a manager. I didn't get the job and was rejected by a generic email, even after completing the assignment and going through all the rounds. The recruiter also wouldn't give me emails for thank you notes. I wouldn't recommend this company.

Behavioral Case Presentation
The communication with this company was really tough, I always had to chase them for updates. The initial phone screen was super easy, and so was the chat with the hiring manager. Then came a case study, which I put a lot of effort into preparing and analyzing the data for. After all that, I had to follow up again to be told I didn't get it. It felt like they have poor communication and terrible work-life balance, so I guess I avoided a bad situation.

Technical Coding Behavioral System Design
I applied through Triplebyte and went straight to an on-site interview. It included three technical rounds, each lasting an hour. There was a 30-minute coffee break between the second and third technical rounds. After the technical rounds, I had a 30-minute talk with a VP. The technical rounds covered core Software Engineer skills like computer science fundamentals and software architecture, along with leadership abilities. During the coffee break, we chatted about my previous work experience. The conversation with the VP was a good opportunity to learn more about the company. I really enjoyed speaking with everyone involved that day, and I'm quite sure this process will help the company find top talent.

Behavioral Technical
The questions they asked were really pointless and didn't make sense. Like, 'who was the smartest person at your last company?' Honestly, that's probably the worst interview question ever. The obvious answer is 'me', but it's such a useless question that doesn't tell you anything. They don't even know the people I worked with. Plus, if you're the smartest person, you're probably in the wrong place. They should be asking questions that actually get useful information and start real conversations. It's obvious they have major problems with their infrastructure, employee turnover, and communication that they have no clue how to fix. They made it clear they are definitely not a 'people first' kind of company. The CFO actually said that the hourly workers were 'disposable' and he wasn't interested in spending money on keeping them around, because 'those kinds of people always leave a lot and are easily replaced.' They seem to really value their Engineers but don't seem to care about anyone else. Everyone I spoke to had totally different ideas about what they wanted; no one was on the same page. The CEO was just arrogant and uninspiring. It was a terrible experience all around.
