Technical Coding Behavioral

The interview process involved an initial AI interview that could last over two hours depending on your answers. This was followed by a technical round focusing on Node.js and React coding. The third technical round was particularly problematic; the interviewer, seemingly only familiar with Java, conducted a JavaScript interview. They insisted on seeing my current company's code and the product, which is not only legally questionable but also inappropriate for an interview. To make matters worse, they asked about salary expectations during this technical round and weren't technically proficient in JavaScript, resorting to searching for questions online. I was rejected after this round, so I'd advise against interviewing here as it seems like a waste of time.

Behavioral Technical

The first step was a chat with a recruiter, which was pretty laid back and focused on behavioral stuff and why I wanted to join. Then, I had a second round with a senior developer where we talked about my resume and they asked me about my past experiences.

Total three rounds. Got rejected in second round, reason unknown, have answered all of the questions. First round was coding plus some tech questions and second round was about real world scenarios. Get good candidates to take interviews. Don't waste time. How can you remember every syntax if you are full stack developer.
