I applied online and got an interview invitation quickly.
It consisted of 2 interviews, one 1+ hours and the next 4.5 hours.
I told them that I need more time to decide if and when I will do the interviews.
The person following up for the company acted like an interrogator and put me under pressure to explain the details why I haven't booked an interview yet.
In the end, he said you're not aligned to our company's values.
If being rude and insulting a prospective employee's privacy is your value, I'm happy not to be aligned with that!

Design a recommendation system for messaging to predict the next word while typing
For the technical rounds, I was asked leetcode style questions. Need to practice Data structures and algorithms in order to do well on the interviews. It's important to explain the code as you go along and clarfiy any questions with the interviewer.
Interviewer is not good, has an accent and doesn’t point you in the right direction. Did not seem to be on your side the whole time. It was not a very nice experience.
