Behavioral Technical
I applied on Linkedin and heard back from HR within about a week. The initial HR screening was pretty chill, just a casual chat about my experience. Then I moved on to the hiring manager screening. Honestly, the HM didn't seem super engaged with what I was saying, and kept checking the time, trying to get me to shorten my answers. It felt like we didn't click, so I'm not worried about not working with him.

Behavioral Coding
I had a 30 min phone screen with the recruiter. Then, I took a 2 hour HackerRank assessment that included 10 management and leadership questions and 3 coding problems. The tasks weren't super hard but felt a bit rushed due to time constraints. Afterward, I got a standard rejection email with no specific feedback on my HackerRank performance or the decision. I reached out to the recruiter for more details but got no response, which is why I'm giving a negative review.

- Can you elaborate on your experience with management and leadership?
