Behavioral Presentation
Got contacted by a recruiter and after that it was a pretty straightforward interview process. First I interviewed with the Hiring Manager, then I met the immediate team I'd be working with. The recruiter call was more about my persona, the Hiring Manager interview was about my past experiences, and the Panel Interview was a mock demo/presentation. My interviews didn't really dive into super technical questions, but more about how I'd think through business and sales scenarios.

Behavioral Technical
I was contacted by an HR representative from Varonis via a job portal. She inquired about my interest in a 15-minute virtual interview and subsequently sent an email with job details and a meeting link. During the virtual interview, I was asked standard questions such as introducing myself and discussing my strengths and weaknesses. Following this, I was informed that I had advanced to the next stage, a technical assessment round. On the same day, I received an email containing two assessment tests: one for Data Analyst skills and another for Apache Spark.

Technical Coding
Had an initial call with the recruiter. Then got a take home assignment where I had to answer some questions and look at a system log to find the problem. The questions were worded a bit weirdly, but it was a decent exercise. After that, I interviewed with two managers. They said I'd know the next steps in a week, but it's been a month and I haven't heard anything. They should at least respect people's time and just say no if that's the case.

Technical Coding System Design Behavioral
the process started out okay with a nice recruiter and first interviewers, but the second interview showed major red flags. the group leader was rude and dismissive, didn't listen at all. they asked a system design question that's impossible without knowing the internal implementation details. the process included: recruiter initial chat, a first technical interview with coding and design parts, a second technical interview that was mostly system design with some tough quick questions like 'how does opensearch work behind the scenes', and then a challenging system design question.

- Write a method that takes multiple text files as input. Each file contains names in the format 'a, b, c, d'. The method should count all names across all files. Discuss the constraint that you cannot load all files into memory at once and should use generators. Also, consider how to prevent starvation for a customer with many files if another customer with fewer files calls the method first.
- Can you explain how OpenSearch functions internally?
