Behavioral Coding
The interview process included a 20-minute call with a recruiter, followed by a 30-minute interview with the hiring manager. This second interview was pretty chaotic and unprofessional. The manager seemed to be reading from a script and wasn't really engaged in our conversation, like they were just trying to tick boxes instead of getting to know me. They also unexpectedly asked me to do live coding and open an IDE, which I wasn't told about beforehand. My laptop was new and I couldn't log into my online IDE, and the manager didn't seem to listen to my answers or answer my questions about the company.

Behavioral Technical Coding
The hiring process kicked off with a recruiter call that covered both behavioral and technical aspects of the role. After getting through the HR part, I interviewed with the hiring manager, which was more of a chat about me and some behavioral questions. Then came a panel interview with the hiring manager and a staff engineer. This involved a deep dive into my resume, talking about my past work, and some whiteboard coding. A bit before this, I also had to do some assessments. The whole thing was pretty structured, and the recruiters kept in touch. Even though I didn't get the job, I really enjoyed talking with the hiring manager and thought it would have been a cool team.

Technical Behavioral Coding
So, first they asked if I was interested in the job, mentioned it was onsite and the pay. I was surprised to get a rejection email so quickly, but the recruiter said it was a system error. Then I interviewed with the hiring manager. After that, they sent me about 5 different assessments. I also had an interview with an interview panel. They asked me general questions about my experience, and it felt like a conversation, so I thought it went really well. I was surprised to be rejected, especially after reaching out...
