Was directly invited by their CEO, Tim Zheng, and the process went smoothly at first. 1. Took the React Tic-tac-Toe exam - finished and feedback from them is that I did well. 2. HR Interview - nothing specific 3. Live Coding interview - Combination of Stack & Queue data structure problem 4. React Take Home exam - re-implement 1 page from their application During the HR interview, I told them that I won't take the take-home exam unless they have enough budget for my expected salary. Initially, I told them I would submit not later than a week ho the HR said to finish the take-home project as soon as possible since it would be a big factor. So I finished the entire thing in 13-15 hours. The project + CICD Setup with Heroku Deployment (since these were indicated as bonus points). A week and a half have already passed and I've followed up with them for the result but I received no reply. They couldn't have the decency to respond to inquiries and follow-ups but they have the audacity to rush me in doing the take-home project.

Standard MAANG process. First general chat with recruiter. Next, leetcode style coding round and system design. The next rounds were supposed to be AI assisted coding and cultural fit round. I got positive feedback from recruiter via email, and he suggested I start preparing for next rounds, but got then got ghosted.
