Interview
I interviewed at PIMCO through a recruiter.
I had to do a coding challenge and 4 rounds of interview after it. Received a "Verbal Offer" and never got a official offer after it. The interviews itself were very good but looking at how they treat candidates who have given so much time to the company, I am glad I never worked with them

Question 1
- Coding challenge was a hackerank minimum moved to get equal array question
- Extensive "get to know you" questions
Resume-focused questions and basic coding round. The interviewer was friendly and approachable, making the conversation comfortable. Overall, it felt straightforward and manageable, with a strong chance of clearing it. Happy to interview with them.
General chat about technology with some deep dive problem solving. There were two people with on being rotated in. The general mood and conversation was good exploratory. No complaints at all.

Interview
5 interviews in total which was too much. Including an assignment. The first was a manager interview and then became more technical each time. While it was good to see other members of the team the questioning was similar and becoming repetitive until they found something you didn't know.

Java questions, Concurrent Hashmap, how they work and how they are concurrent?
