This was a 1-on-1 with the manager, and they were really nice and friendly. They asked about my background, CS fundamentals, and my experience with distributed systems. We also discussed my favorite school courses and concepts related to distributed systems, as well as my past projects.

fui abordado no linkedin. tive uma entrevista com o rh, que explicou a vaga e perguntou sobre minhas experiências. também me perguntaram se eu estava em outros processos seletivos, o que não gostei, pois essa pergunta parece uma armadilha e não acho que deveria influenciar em nada. não me passaram um prazo para resposta e a pessoa do rh simplesmente sumiu e nunca tive retorno. falta de respeito com o candidato. achei o processo arcaico e já perdi a vontade de entrar nessa empresa.

This was honestly one of the worst interview processes ever. It had three rounds, all scheduled for US morning times, which was super late at night for me in India. I went through all of them though. After the HR round, they said I'd get an offer within a week. Then, like 3-4 days later, they told me the person who approves the offer letter was on vacation and I should hear back the next week. Well, the next week came and went, and they were still waiting for a final list. Two days after that, still no update, just that they're waiting for the list. I put in a lot of time and effort, and I feel like I deserved a clear yes or no. This ghosting is really unprofessional. I thought I had a good impression of the company at first, but this was the worst interview experience.
