I was first reached out to by someone from HR via email. They asked me a few questions which I responded to by email. Then, the head of the team emailed me to request a phone call. We ended up talking on the phone for about 25 minutes.

Behavioral Technical Coding Presentation System Design
It began with three initial screening calls. Following that, there were in-house discussions along with a presentation. The presentation, lasting an hour, was set between multiple rounds of discussions. There were two discussion rounds before the presentation and four after, with each one-on-one discussion lasting about an hour. The overall experience was quite good; all the panel members were cordial, friendly, and very professional. The entire process went smoothly, and I was impressed by their professionalism. The discussions covered problem-solving, algorithms, data structures, SDLC, behavioral aspects, and processes. The goal was to gauge the candidate's depth in these areas and their overall suitability. It was both an enjoyable and a learning experience.

Behavioral Technical
This process seemed backwards and a bit awkward from the get go. After applying online, I was first contacted by the hiring manager and had an initial call with him that seemed to go well. I was then contacted by their recruiting team, with a form email that made it seem like they were not aware of the conversation I had with the hiring manager. I then spoke with one of the corporate recruiters who asked a variety of generic interview questions with zero reference to the previous conversation I had had with the much more knowledgeable and engaged hiring manager. After these two calls, I never heard back... No courtesy email informing me they were not moving forward, and no response at all to my follow up email. Very unprofessional - I know it's 2019, but ghosting people shouldn't be an MO for any company. For an organization full of such smart people, they have a lot work to do on their recruitment process.
