Behavioral Technical Coding

I interviewed at this company in September 2025. I noticed that some job openings have been up for over a year, which makes me wonder if they're actively filling them. The interview process was a letdown, with multiple rounds that took up a lot of my time and effort to prepare for. While the people I talked to were professional, the whole thing felt really unclear. I got rejected without any useful feedback after finishing all the steps, which made me feel like my time wasn't well spent. It gave me the impression that maybe they aren't really looking to hire, but just keeping the posts up for visibility. This is frustrating when you're genuinely looking for a job and expect straightforward communication. If you're serious about finding a job, be careful, as this process could take a long time with no guaranteed outcome. But if you're just looking to practice your interviewing skills, it might still be worth it.

The interview process was super clear and upfront. After each step, they let me know exactly when to expect feedback. It started with a take-home assignment, then an HR chat. After that, I moved to the second round, which was a technical interview where we went over my assignment and I got asked some technical stuff. The last part was a chat to see if I'd be a good cultural fit.

Behavioral Technical Coding

I sent in my application online for a US job. They then sent me a bunch of questions about my experience with distributed systems and microservices, the usual behavioral stuff. After that, I did a HackerRank test and had a first interview that went well. Then they asked me to fill out another form, which I did and sent back right away. But then they emailed saying they weren't moving forward because I didn't respond. I sent them proof I did respond, with screenshots and everything. A week later, they said they'd proceed with an in-person interview. But then they asked if I could relocate to Malaysia, which wasn't in the original job posting. I applied for a US job and only found out after a month of interviewing that the job actually required relocating to Malaysia. Sadly, I had to pull out. It was pretty frustrating because they weren't clear about where the job was located.

Coding Technical Behavioral

The interview process had three steps. First, a take-home assessment with two parts: an algorithm question and a React Native question. The algorithm part was pretty tough because it required code optimization for speed. The React Native part was simpler, just needing me to finish a section of an app. Second, there was a technical interview with a Senior engineer. This was enjoyable; I was given a case study and had to finish an RN app according to the requirements and test cases, which also involved some algorithm work. Then, I was asked technical questions about my skills like React, React Native, Redux, and Redux Saga. The interviewer was really nice and helpful, guiding me and giving advice. Third, a physical interview with Lead Engineers. It started with many technical questions about my resume skills and what I mentioned verbally. The second half focused entirely on culture fit and behavioral questions. Both interviewers were very friendly and guided me throughout. The whole experience felt casual, and the interviewers seemed experienced and asked good questions. The entire process went smoothly and quickly, with responses taking about 3 days to a week. The quickest turnaround was after my second interview; I received the invitation for the third interview the very next day. Sadly, I didn't get an offer after the final stage.
