The hiring process started with a recruiter call, followed by an online assessment. After that, there was a first round and then a second round. The online assessment involved parsing an API response to get a result in HackerRank, which was fairly straightforward but required remembering specific libraries. I got an email to schedule the second round, but then I never heard back.

Started with a timed Hackerrank assessment that could take up to an hour. Then there was a system design interview, for which I was informed beforehand about the topics. Overall, it was a great interview experience.

Behavioral
I got a message on LinkedIn from a Senior Technical Recruiter. We had a first phone call, and after that, the recruiter thought my profile was a good fit. He asked me to apply for the job post, so I did. He mentioned he'd schedule the coding interview soon. However, after that, the recruiter went completely silent. I sent multiple messages but never got a response. A few days later, I received a standard email saying they weren't proceeding with my application. While I get that companies get to choose who they want, I expected the recruiter who encouraged me to apply would at least give me an update or decision, instead of ignoring my messages. It seems unprofessional. Honestly, I'm relieved I didn't move forward with a company that doesn't respect people's time and effort.
