Technical Coding System Design Behavioral

It was the longest process I have gone through. First, there was a 30-45 minutes triple byte quiz. Then, a 30-minute intro call. After a few days, a 45 min phone interview. Upon passing, I had to create a project which took over half a day. Later, due to coronavirus, there was a remote onsite which was the longest I've experienced, with 10 rounds. Overall, their interview process seems unnecessarily long and their interviewing standards are questionable. I received some odd feedback on interviews that I thought went well. I'd suggest this if you have ample free time, but if you're on a serious job hunt, don't waste your time here; there are better options. It's the strangest process I've encountered, and after all the time spent, they gave some really weak reasons for not moving forward, which left me frustrated and angry.

Technical Coding Behavioral

The interview process involved two main rounds. First, an informal phone chat. Second, there was a test, which included a culture assessment and a SQL test, the specifics of which depended on the team. Honestly, the process wasn't that tough. But I didn't get a good vibe from the company, the team, or the overall culture. I don't think I'd actually enjoy working there. They seemed to make snap judgments based on my resume, viewing a few months gap negatively. It makes you wonder why they even invite candidates if they're going to do that. I doubt they'll be able to attract top talent with this approach.

Technical Coding

The interview process involved a manager interview first, followed by a machine learning interview, and then a coding interview. The ML interviewer was pretty bad, and the coding interviewer seemed disengaged.
