Coding Technical
The interview process started with a 30-minute coding session with a developer. Then, there was a second interview that lasted almost 3 hours. The first 2 hours were dedicated to coding, and the last 30-45 minutes involved an interview with several tech leads. During the coding portion of the second interview, there were about 4 coding questions, but I only managed to complete 3 due to time constraints. The final part of the interview was with tech leads who asked technical questions related to my resume, like about security in Java or the difference between Thread.start() and Thread.run() based on my project description. Despite the hard questions, the interview experience wasn't too bad, though the interviewer's monotone voice made it hard to stay enthusiastic.

Behavioral Coding Technical
I applied online and after about two weeks, I got an interview. First, we took a tour of the building. Then, the manager asked me some behavioral questions. After that, I had a peer programming interview with three engineers. They said it was peer programming, but I ended up doing it all myself and had to talk through my thoughts the entire time. The other engineers seemed pretty disengaged and focused on their own work, which was really awkward. The programming part involved two questions: one about string compression and another related to matrices. This lasted over an hour. Afterward, I met with the manager again for more behavioral questions. They said I'd hear back within a week, but I never did, not even an email saying I didn't get the offer. It felt like a complete waste of time.
