It was a very chilled process. The interviewer was testing what I knew and going based off that rather than testing me. There was no formal technical question, it was more about understanding data structures in Python and the classes I had taken.

The whole thing took about 6 months, they were super slow to get back to me. I did like 4 rounds, some phone interviews, a take-home project, and then like half a day of Zoom interviews. After that, they totally ghosted me even though I sent a bunch of follow-up emails. Then, about a month later, I saw they forked the take-home project I did on Github. I emailed and called the recruiter, but still no response. It was 100% unprofessional, they just seem to steal your work and waste your time.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • They will ask you to solve solutions that they need and then they will take your work.
  • Don't do any take-homes for them.
