The whole thing took about 5 months. I did my onsite in early Jan and then had to chase recruiters for updates, sometimes without any response. Felt like they forgot about me. They made me do an extra interview, which I did and got good feedback on, but in the end, they couldn't find a team for me. It took 2 months after the onsite to get the rejection. I got feedback from the interviews and it felt like the expectations were higher than what's normal for a mid-level role, with some very specific feedback on minor things. They seem to want to be like FAANG but without the pay, equity, or good reviews. The company seems pretty disorganized.

The interview involved medium Leetcode challenges, and also cultural and technical questions. It was a bit awkward because the interviewer seemed uninterested, often checking their phone while I was speaking or explaining my problem-solving approach. It felt like they weren't really engaged.

Technical Coding

So the job said 3 years of experience, but they still interviewed me. The recruiter told me there would be a phone interview and then onsite interviews. But after I applied, I got a 45 minute technical interview on Zoom. I had to sign an NDA, which was mostly about company secrets from my current job. It was just one interview with a software engineer where I had to do a DSA problem. Didn't hear back after that or get any feedback.
