Technical Behavioral
So the interview process was pretty structured and they told me what to expect. It had these rounds: 1. A recruiter chat (about 15-30 mins). 2. A technical chat with the Hiring Manager. Then 3. Tech Round 1, 4. Tech Round 2, and 5. Tech Round 3. Lastly, 6. A chat with the Director. Super disappointing though, after all that time and effort, to get zero feedback, not even a yes or no. I tried asking the recruiter but no reply. Seriously, companies should just give a decision or at least update us on what's going on or why it's taking so long.

Technical Behavioral
I had a recruiter call first, which was pretty standard. Then I had a technical interview with the Hiring Manager. I had to fix a threading problem and I didn't do great. Both interviewers were really nice and made sure the interviews went smoothly. I didn't perform well in the technical part, but what really soured the whole experience was not getting any response afterward. It's bad when a company doesn't give feedback, but not even sending a rejection email or message is a new low. I felt it was disrespectful and I won't be applying again.

System Design Coding Technical Technical Coding
So, there were 5 rounds in total. First, a chat with the Hiring Manager to see if my profile matched the role, talk about my past experience, interests, and a quick system design question. Then, a coding round with 2 medium-easy coding questions. After that, a system design round with one of the Architects. Next, an Engineering Manager round for the full stack aspect, focusing on JS skills. Finally, another round with the HM, which was a hands-on coding round.
