Technical Coding
The interview and recruitment process was pretty bad. I got like 4+ invites from different HR people, and each time the process just stopped. I had three technical interviews, and each one took over 4 hours on average. It was a rough experience because the interviewers weren't professional and were arrogant. They also disturbed each other during the interviews. Plus, a lot of other weird, bad stuff happened.
