The interview process felt rushed, and I wasn't given much clarity on what the job would actually entail or who I'd report to. It would be better if they had a clearer process and team structure. The difficulty was average, and the interviewers seemed a bit inexperienced.

Case Behavioral

The interview process was pretty straightforward. It involved three rounds of interviews that all happened within a single week. Everything was virtual and the interviews mainly focused on product cases and behavioral questions. What I noticed was that after the rounds were done, it was really hard to get an update on the outcome. It took the HR about 3 weeks to tell me I was getting an offer. To make matters worse, they offered a lot less than I expected, which made negotiating frustrating, especially since I had already set clear expectations before they even started the process.
