There were two interviews: the first was with the hiring manager and VP, and it was a general overview. The second interview was with the hiring manager and a team member, and it was more technical and situational. The interview ran for over 30 minutes, which I felt was a positive sign.

We started with introductions. Then, we dove into API questions, covering GET, PUT, POST, PATCH, and OPTIONS methods. We also discussed negative scenarios for the Login API and scenarios involving a car key remote control.

I went through 5 interviews for this role and made it to the final stages. Apparently, there were 3 candidates left for the final stages. About 2 weeks after the interview, I still hadn't heard back even after following up twice. I ended up withdrawing my application because if communication is already an issue during the interview process, it might be even worse if I accepted the job.
