Technical System Design Coding Behavioral
Recruiter reached out for an internship role. I had to complete a take-home assessment. The first round involved designing a File System using Cli. The second round was a discussion with an interviewer. The third round was a recruiter screening. I didn't reach the fourth round, which was supposed to be another technical interview. After a lot of time was wasted, I received a generic rejection stating that other candidates might be better suited for their projects. It's frustrating when so much time is invested in an internship application, and recruiters don't seem to do their due diligence to align candidates with projects beforehand.

Technical Coding System Design Behavioral Presentation
The whole process took around 1 and half month. It was pretty smooth. After the initial technical screen I asked if I can speak with the Hiring Manager to understand the role and opportunities better. The recruiters were happy to oblige and I was much more confident about progressing to the next step after the HM chat. The actual virtual onsite interview was short and smooth. It consisted of 4 1 hr sessions - 1 coding, 1 sys design and 1 hiring manager interview. After I got the offer I was able to meet with multiple engineers and executives at the company and also attend some company events. This gave me pretty good idea about the culture and how they work. Overall the experience was really smooth and I was pretty confident about my decision to take the role at the end.

- The coding questions are not LeetCode style; they aim to simulate real-world problems specific to the company, and the interviewer will collaborate with you on the solution. Preparation isn't strictly necessary, but focusing on best practices and organized thinking is recommended.

Technical Coding
The interview process at this company seems unorganized, with teams working in silos and duplicating efforts due to a lack of trust. While I offered solutions to these issues, the interviewer wasn't receptive. The interview itself wasn't very challenging for someone with my experience, and I completed the assignment early. The interviewer seemed to struggle with follow-up questions, focusing mainly on hashing and arrays. It seems they might decide on a candidate before interviews even conclude, which I found unprofessional, though it didn't impact me. I wouldn't recommend working here, but you could use the interview for practice.
