Behavioral
I applied directly and asked to reschedule my interview because something came up, but I didn't get a response. Thankfully, I was able to make the screening happen. The recruiter asked me some basic questions about my background and explained the interview process. They mentioned they'd schedule a call with the hiring manager for the next week, as the manager was out of office. After a few days with no word, I followed up and was informed they had moved on with other candidates. Later, my email about not being able to make the original interview time was acknowledged after the call, and they thanked me for joining anyway. It felt a bit disorganized.

Behavioral Technical Coding
The interview process involved two behavioral interviews, one with HR and another with a Software Engineer. During the behavioral interview with the Senior Software Engineer, there was a verbal technical component. This was followed by a written technical assessment conducted during a virtual call, which included a LeetCode medium-level problem. The final round was with the head of US manager.

Technical
Applied for a Software Engineer role and had a phone screen on March 13th after setting it up with a technical recruiter. Was told about more rounds the next week but then heard nothing for over 10 days. Reached out to the recruiter on LinkedIn a few times and finally got a reply after two weeks saying the job went to an internal person. It was disappointing because the silence and slow replies made me feel like my time wasn't valued. Companies should be upfront and respect candidates' time during hiring.
