After the initial HR call, the interview process was really delayed and unprofessional. I followed up a bunch, but it took over a month to even set up the first round. Then, right when it was scheduled, they cancelled it because they filled the role. The HR team wasn't very professional about it.

The interviews were conducted by a team in India, requiring early morning calls at 7 am. There was no response to emails. The interviewer did not introduce themselves, kept their video off, and seemed uninterested or unable to follow the discussion or written responses. It was a very poor and unprofessional interview experience. I advise against wasting your time.

Coding Behavioral

It was an online interview with 3 rounds. The first round was DSA, involving an easy-medium Leetcode problem. The second round was a CV discussion where I had to explain my projects in detail, covering what I did and why. The third round was with HR, which was behavioral and asked questions like strengths/weaknesses and company fit.
