Technical Behavioral
The hiring manager reached out to me for an entry-level role as a new grad. First, I had a couple of virtual interviews, one with the hiring manager and another with the principal engineer. Then, about two weeks later, they invited me for an onsite interview, though they didn't cover travel expenses, so I drove to Santa Clara. The onsite involved 3-4 back-to-back interviews with different engineers without any breaks. Even though the interviewers were really nice and seemed to give positive signals, after I got back, they just went silent and didn't provide any specific feedback. It felt like a big waste of my time considering the whole process.

Technical Behavioral
It started with three technical rounds with two principal engineers and the Hiring Manager, followed by a meeting with the engineering director. The director's interview was a mix of technical and behavioral questions. The process was a bit slow, with one to two weeks between interviews. The interviewers were nice and friendly.

Technical Coding
I chatted with them at a university career fair, and then I was given a computational challenge that was expected to take about 8 hours. The process was quite different and honestly a bit unprofessional, so I decided not to continue. After the career fair, a team member just told me to 'finish this exercise and send it to us in a week.' No recruiter or anyone reached out to schedule a time. Still, I decided to give it a shot. Once I finished and submitted the exercise, the interviewer came back with follow-up questions that were totally different from the original PDF. I asked for clarification, wondering if I had to do a second challenge, but their explanations were really unclear about what they wanted. I then replied that I didn't have any more time. If a company can't even design a challenge that reflects what they're looking for in a candidate, it tells me enough about them that I don't want to work there.
