So I submitted my application and then got an email saying there was going to be an online meeting to go over the process and the role. After that, there was an online test, kind of like LeetCode with different questions. Unfortunately, I didn't pass that.

Technical System Design
The process began with a brief phone call. After they explained the company, they asked a couple of basic professional questions. When it came time to schedule the next interview, they were not very flexible and insisted on a specific date and time. The Tel Aviv offices were nicely designed. The company seemed friendly and laid-back. However, the actual interview felt a bit cold and unforgiving, especially when my answers weren't quite right, and the interviewers just listened without much input. Overall, it was a pretty standard process, but it somehow felt unpleasant and a bit harsh, from the initial phone call to the main interview.

Technical Coding Behavioral
The interview process was pretty standard for a Senior Software Engineer. It started with an HR Call, then a technical interview focused on the role's stack, followed by another technical interview covering logic and algorithms. After that, there was a Manager Call, and then the offer. What I really appreciated was the lack of unnecessary complexity; the questions and tasks felt relevant and purposeful, unlike some interviews that ask you to invent obscure algorithms.

- Please write and explain your code for creating a Minesweeper game.
