Presentation Technical Behavioral
So the whole process has like this initial call with the recruiter, then we go into two technical interviews. The first one is basically presenting a project that you've done, and then the second one is a system design question where you have to design a game. After that, there are reference checks and then an HR interview.

Technical Coding
Had a call with the team lead, then a home assignment. After that, I was supposed to have an interview with the group manager, but they didn't connect on Zoom because of a hackathon. After I told HR that nobody connected, the manager finally connected, seemed nervous and was impolite.

Behavioral
I had a phone call with HR where we discussed the position and I talked about my background. She mentioned she'd call back the next day to set up an interview with the team lead. Two days later, I received an email stating they'd moved forward with another candidate. I tried to find out why via email, but didn't get a response.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Can you tell me about yourself and a project you've worked on?
