So there were 3 interviews in total. I made it through the first one, but not the second. Both were technical phone interviews done over Google Meets. The third was supposed to be an in-person thing. The first interview had two questions. I started off with a bad approach for a Javascript problem but figured it out after a couple minutes. I managed to solve the rest of the stuff. Got lucky and got a second interview. In the second one, the interviewer seemed totally checked out and just threw the task at me. I finished everything on time, but he barely seemed to be paying attention. I asked him about the role and he said they don't actually have a specific team or role in mind, they're just interviewing to find some programmer unicorn, I guess. A lot of wasted effort, honestly. I'm pretty bummed they didn't invite me for the third interview and didn't even tell me why I 'failed' even though I completed all the tasks.

Technical Coding
I applied through career fair in my school and the recruiter reached out to me 3 weeks afterward. I interviewed with the recruiter first to get to know about the company and check my background. I did a phone technical interview a week after with VP of engineering. He's really nice I think. After my interview, I never hear back from recruiter even though I followed up with her 2-3 weeks after not hearing from her.

Coding
First, an HR person reached out for some basic info and to set up a live coding test. Then, I interviewed with an engineer who gave me two coding problems. While the problems were pretty straightforward, I didn't manage to finish the second one on time. It felt like they're after candidates who can code flawlessly under pressure, similar to Google, though I'm unsure about the compensation.
