The interview process started with a 15-minute meeting, followed by a 1-hour in-office interview. Then there was a take-home assignment which I had 24 hours to complete. I only found out two weeks later, after asking for an update, that I hadn't passed the assignment.

Behavioral Technical
The hiring manager was a team lead with only 2 years of experience. He was very arrogant and couldn't answer questions about the company's future direction. The job was advertised as a backend engineer role, but it actually turned out to be a QA automation position.
