The interview process involves two main rounds. First, a Technical Deep Dive with a senior engineer covering DSA, coding, LLD, resume review, and CS fundamentals. Second, an Engineering Leadership round with the Director of Engineering, assessing cultural fit, LLD, distributed systems, and HLD, with LLD/distributed system depth varying by seniority.

Behavioral Presentation Other
This interview experience was really unprofessional and disrespectful. Right away, they texted me late at night which was weird. Everyone I talked to kind of hinted that the place is toxic, calling it "chaotic" and "hectic" and saying that the CEO can be "particular." The CEO himself was arrogant and rude the whole call. Before the last interview, they made me read a huge culture deck, over 100 pages, that talked about how they're a "family" and how they fire people by "joining the extended family."

Technical System Design
I was contacted by a recruiter last month who told me all about how great the company is and that they only hire top talent. The first interview went well and they scheduled the second for the next day, saying they wanted to fill the role quickly and that I was a good fit. The second interview was professional and smooth. However, the third interview was canceled, and I was told someone would call me back shortly. I waited all evening with no callback, which seems to be a common issue according to other reviews. The recruiter also said she'd get back to me with a new time slot but never did. They have no respect for candidates' time and won't attract good engineers with this process. Very unprofessional and rude. Avoid this company.

The first interview went really well and they scheduled the second interview for the next day because they wanted to fill the position quickly and thought I was a great fit. The second interview also went great, it was professional, smooth, and the interviewer was nice. The third interview was canceled 10 minutes before it was supposed to start, while I was on vacation. It was 10 pm where I was due to the time difference. Payal said she would get back to me with a new time slot soon, but she never did, even after I emailed her two weeks later. She kept saying she would get back to me and never did, and then she ghosted my last email too. It was really weird and sketchy, and if I hadn't seen so many reviews about the company, I would have thought it was a scam. The company is super unprofessional and rude. STAY AWAY.
