Technical Coding System Design Technical
It started with a recruiter screen, then an online assessment, followed by four back-to-back interviews. The first was on OOP, then two coding sessions, and finally a system design interview. The OOP interviewer was the only good one. The principal engineer was chill, we talked about solution approaches and tests. In the coding session, I gave an optimized solution but it wasn't clean, using 2 loops instead of 1. The interviewer freaked out about it, like it was the worst code ever. Probably insecure. The design session was the worst. The interviewer kept interrupting, criticizing, and offered no help, just wanted to see me sweat. Typical WITCH experience though. The last coding session was a bit different, a knowledge check on threads, parallel programming, and concurrency. I didn't know the answers. The interviewer was neutral.

Technical Coding Behavioral Coding Coding
Long process. Ghosted at end after good interviews. Total 5 interviews. Initial HR Screening. Then coding test. Then live coding test and behavioral interview with a senior engineer. Then three interviews back to back, two of them being live coding interviews. Initial coding test and 1st live coding interview is pretty easy. The next two live coding interviews are react based. and a little difficult.
