I had an initial chat with a recruiter, then an interview with the hiring manager. It felt like the hiring manager interview went pretty well, but after that, the recruiter went silent. I even sent an email to follow up on my application status, but got no reply.

Behavioral Technical
I had 3 interviews set up. The first one was cut short because of technical problems on their side, but the second one went really well. I got an email saying a third interview was happening, but it needed to be rescheduled and I'd hear back soon. Two months passed and I heard nothing. I reached out to the recruiter and even the people I interviewed with several times about getting the third interview, but got no response. Eventually, I heard back saying the role was filled.

Coding Technical Behavioral
We started with a quick Zoom chat with a software manager, mostly chatting about my resume. Then, there was a longer Zoom session, about 3.5 hours total with a short break in the middle, with several team members. The first part involved a coding test, which was a Leetcode medium problem. The engineer gave the prompt and then mostly let me work, checking in occasionally. Following that, I had back-to-back meetings with one or two engineers at a time for about 2.5 hours to go over my code, talk about technical stuff, and my past experience. Everyone was really nice and chill, making it a pretty good interview experience overall.
Confirmed questions6 questions
- How would you approach this Leetcode medium difficulty question?
