Coding Technical System Design Behavioral

First there was an HR call, then a take home assignment. After that, I had a technical talk with 2 engineers and a system design interview. Then a values interview and an interview with the hiring manager. Finally, a logistics call. I got a verbal offer, and they said a written offer would come soon. After a week, a new recruiter called with the verbal offer again and told me to wait. A week later, I emailed them about the offer, but got no reply. After more emails, they told me they couldn't offer the position, with no explanation. I emailed everyone I interviewed with to understand why, as the feedback was great and they were still hiring. The response was weird: they thought I'd be a good fit for a team but then decided not to hire anyone for that team. I didn't follow up after that.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Take-home assignment is very important for them.
  • System design is not hard at all.

Behavioral Technical

It took about 3 weeks to complete the interview process, with 4 interviews in total. I had the chance to speak with employees and managers from different teams, and we had some really good discussions where I found out everything I needed to know about the job. The assignment they gave me was fair, and they were open to making adjustments in several areas.
