It was a 4 round interview process. Some questions were asked multiple times across different interviews. The final interview with the Senior VP was very disappointing as they seemed checked out. They sent a rejection letter with vague feedback about professionalism, even though the interviewers themselves used profanity and spoke poorly of other candidates and competitors throughout the interviews.

The interview process involves several steps. It begins with a recruiter call that includes some basic technical questions. Following that, there's a meeting with the hiring manager, who is part of the SOC. Next, a technical video interview takes place, and the process concludes with a management interview conducted via Zoom.
