A fairly standard process: it starts with a quick call with a recruiter to get to know the candidate and ask basic logistical questions. After that, you’re invited to a coding round that consists of debugging a pre-existing file. If you pass that, you’re invited to a hiring manager interview.
The manager seems cool and easy-going. He spent enough time answering all my questions, although he was visibly a little distracted at the start due to some work-related issue. Overall, I liked the conversation for its relaxed tone and transparency.
After that, if you pass, you’re invited to the onsite stage, 1 hour coding round (LeetCode-style questions that build on each other), a 1-hour system design interview related to the company’s domain, and a behavioral interview. The recruiter prepares you in advance by explaining what to expect and giving some guidance. The behavioral interview didn’t follow a strict STAR format - it was more of a general overview of my career.
After completing everything, I was completely ghosted, even though I tried to follow up with the recruiter by email. I have no idea why it’s so hard to provide even minimal context about how the interview went or whether it makes sense to expect next steps. Because of the ghosting, my overall experience was quite negative.
