Coding Technical Behavioral

I had to do this coding quiz with 10 multiple choice questions first. Then, a screening call happened to discuss my resume. After that, I got a coding problem to solve and send back, which took around 30-45 minutes. Then, I had another call to go over the quiz and the coding question. The last part was a two-hour final interview with two different questions. It was disappointing that they ghosted me after all those steps.

Technical Coding

I had a brief initial call with a senior engineer to go over my resume. After chasing them a few times, I finally got an interview set up with the team. They had me present some of my Github projects, and they also shared some of their own code, which was a good part. Then, I spoke with their CTO. While that went okay, I think I didn't do great in that part. I tried to follow up and they let me know a decision hadn't been made. In the end, I never heard back. The whole thing took over a month.
