Interview
Applied online, received an email from a recruiter asking for a few dates and time frames to talk to them. Then recruiter thought to skip talking to me and scheduled my 1st phone interview. In the meantime, I read some employee reviews on Glassdoor and on "quora" which made me realize this wasn't the right place to apply for.
1st Phone interview: The engineer was a bit rude and loud on phone.
They asked me my "area of expertise" and then started asking based on that.
Interview lasted for about 45-50 minutes and then I received an email saying they would like to pursue other candidates. I am very glad that this ended right there.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Block
Interview
After applying, I was selected for a quick screening interview, which was very standard and the usual questions.
I did well, hence I was invited to continue with the process and was told I would do a technical interview. About two weeks passed before I heard anything again, at which point I emailed back the recruiter and was given a time for the technical interview.
When I showed up to the technical interview, I was surprised to see the recruiter turned up and basically repeated the first interview all over again (same questions), and once more I was invited to continue the process and schedule a technical interview. I didn’t mention anything as I didn’t want to ruin my chances.
I waited for the technical interview confirmation which never came, I wrote back to the recruiter, and after 2 weeks I got a reply inviting me to another interview. I decided to withdraw my application at this stage. The whole waiting was about 6 weeks.
