Behavioral Coding Technical Behavioral
Had four interview rounds, and the communication about how to prep for each was terrible. First round was behavioral. For the second, they said python coding questions, but then threw in a SQL question too, which the interviewer dismissed when I said I wasn't prepped on it. The third round was supposed to be the final one, with vague advice on conceptual questions for their tech stack. Turns out it was just a 15 min chat about why I want to join. All that prep for nothing. Then they said there was *another* final round with the MD, which was just another behavioral interview. Never heard back after that. Not worth your time.

I sent my CV and cover letter first. Then, two weeks later, I was invited to do an online pre-recorded interview. It was time-sensitive because they only gave 5 seconds to prep for each question.
