The questions were fair, but some moments were casual to the point of less professional, which pushed me away from the company. I wouldn't dismiss them, but I'm hesitant to reapply to another team.

Technical System Design Behavioral
The first two interviews went well, but then there was a super long wait, like over a month, between rounds with no word. I tried to follow up for feedback, but the hiring team totally ghosted me. My emails asking for feedback have been ignored for more than a month now. Honestly, the whole thing felt disorganized and negative, like they didn't respect my time or the people they interview. No empathy at all.

- Could you tell me about a project you were involved in?
- Can you answer some fundamental questions about system design?

Behavioral Technical
I had an on-site screen with the recruiter first, then a phone screen with the hiring manager. After that, there was an on-site technical interview which had three 30-minute interviews back-to-back: first with two developers, then with a designer and product manager, and finally with the engineering director. No actual coding was involved; it was more of a discussion-based sanity check of my technical background and some behavioral questions.
