The interview process was quick and smooth with 2 rounds. They didn't ask any leetcode questions but focused on understanding my code. It wasn't a long 5-6 stage interview and was very professional. The atmosphere was nice and not stressful, and the interviewers were really nice.

It took them about a month to get back to me about a phone interview. The interviewer seemed uninterested and rushed the whole call. She asked questions that are more suited for mid-senior level roles, not for an entry junior position. They also sent over two critical thinking assessments and a personality assessment. Based on this, I knew I wouldn't proceed because they seem to be looking for someone more experienced than a junior.

This was a brutal interview process. There were two separate rounds of interviews before the onsite loop. The onsite itself was awful, consisting of five back-to-back rounds that took 7 hours with hardly any breaks. Even lunch involved a whiteboarding question, and they didn't even give me a tour of the office. The last interviewer was also disrespectful, constantly on his phone while I was explaining solutions and had a generally condescending tone.
