Technical Coding
The interview process was quite bad. I went through five rounds of interviews, and passed all the technical challenges. The final round even involved a conversation with the CEO. Despite all this, they ultimately decided to hire an internal candidate. I waited a couple of months, and noticed the position I applied for was still advertised on their website. It felt like a complete waste of my time, and I'd advise others against applying.

Behavioral Technical Coding System Design
I applied online and got a call back from HR. Then I had a call with the hiring manager but didn't hear back for a few weeks. After that, I was asked to schedule three technical interviews with engineers. I completed those and have been ghosted for over a month and a half. I sent some follow-up emails to HR but have lost hope. During my first technical interview with an engineer, I was accused of cheating twice, which was really rude.

Had a 30 min HR phone screen. It was for HR to learn more about my background. The HR was patient and friendly. I didn't get the job though, as I wasn't prepared enough.
