Other Technical
I applied online and then had an HR interview. After that, I was given a take-home assignment to build a simple C# project in 3 days, focusing on design and clean code. I thought my SOLID design and unit tests were good, but I was rejected via email. They said the design wasn't what they expected, but didn't explain why my solution was wrong. It felt unfair to spend hours on a project and not get feedback. I don't recommend interviewing here, especially given other negative reviews.

Technical Coding System Design
The interview process started with a recruiter phone screen, followed by a take-home test where I had to build a fully functional .NET Core console app. I really enjoyed that part and how it was set up. Then, there was a technical phone interview, which went well. I had to explain the take-home test and talk about high-level concepts. The next round was a second set of technical interviews with different people in various roles. The questions felt a bit random, covering a few different topics, which is why I think I didn't perform as well in this stage.

Behavioral Technical
I applied online and a recruiter called me to discuss my background. After a couple of email exchanges, we had the phone interview. It focused on my resume and past experiences. Then, I got a take-home assignment to build a Rover program. This felt like one of those interviews where you doubt yourself afterward. The recruiter mentioned I was a junior and shouldn't stress about the homework, which I found odd. Although I felt discouraged, I found the assignment interesting and completed it on time. After submitting, I was invited to interview with an Architect. The questions were basic, and I was asked why I hadn't included unit tests.
