Behavioral Other
I got rejected in the first HR screen. They kept asking weird questions with condescending tonality. The questions kept repeating as if I lied in the previous answer. Never had an experience like this.

Coding Behavioral Technical System Design Coding
The process started with a phone screen that had a simple coding algorithm and questions like 'When do you stop building features?'. After that, I had a coding challenge where I had to add functionality to a React/Angular app that listed hotels, dealing with things like image loading or fixing search. It was supposed to take 3-4 hours, but I spent 4-5. The onsite was a bit of a unique experience. The person who opened the door seemed upset I rang the bell, which was an odd start. The onsite itself was broad. First, I talked to a product person about personal questions. Then, I spoke with a Senior Engineer about JavaScript and React, including questions about Redux and Context. After that, two engineers and I had a back-and-forth with questions, followed by system design of the company's app as a React/Redux app, and unexpectedly also some back-end system design. The next step was pair programming with an engineer to enhance the coding challenge from earlier and discuss decisions. Finally, I spoke with the CTO about high-level life goals and vague concepts. I got a rejection, and the initial odd reception, plus some directionless interviews, made it feel like a waste of time, though the company culture seems okay.

Behavioral Technical Coding
The interview process went great. Rounds lasted 45-60 mins each. Started with a Recruiter Screen call, then a Hiring Manager round. After that, there was a Coding round with Team members and a Discussion round with the Product Manager. They added an extra round because they had multiple candidates, which was a Discussion with the Manager's manager.
