First, a phone chat with HR about current CTC, notice period, etc. Then, a 3-hour interview split into three parts: first hour with the Hiring Manager, discussing behavioral aspects like handling incidents, pressure, and bugs, as well as task planning and Agile. Second hour is technical, with a live coding round featuring one easy to medium problem. Third hour focuses on code maintainability and best practices for writing easy-to-maintain code. You'll then wait for HR to call back with the job decision.

Technical Coding Behavioral
The hiring process felt really impersonal. First, I had a standard interview with HR. Then, I did a pretty challenging technical test on HackerRank, which I passed. I had to chase them for an update. Later, the recruiter asked for my availability for the next two weeks, and I gave it. But then, less than 12 hours before, they wanted me available the next day for a long interview session, like 5-6 hours. I couldn't do it on such short notice, so I had to pass. After that, it felt even more robotic. The recruiter kept sending generic messages asking for new availability, to sign an NDA, and to do a quick call about scheduling. But when I replied, there was rarely any response, making me feel like they didn't value my time. I found another job and told the recruiter, and of course, heard nothing back. I get that the job market is tough, but candidates should be treated with respect. The effort we put in shouldn't feel ignored, and we shouldn't feel like just numbers. It was a disappointing and badly run experience.

Behavioral Coding
The interview process started with a 20-minute video screening call with the recruiter. During this call, I was asked about myself, my work, and my projects. I also had the chance to ask them company-related questions. The second round was a problem-solving session. Since the interviewer was based in the US, the interview happened late at night. They gave me a coding problem in React on HackerRank. I had to complete the functionality within a provided skeleton. The problem required knowledge of data structures, optimization techniques in React, and how to write scalable code.
