Standard recruiter screen Second call with hiring manager: very bad experience here. HM had to be interrogated on the actual team composition before revealing the other 4 team members were around the country and working remote but that this position would have to come into office at Burlingame location (even tried to sell me a line about how great it would be to collaborate with other teams and leadership). Then tried to downlevel me to a more junior role despite seeing my experience and got offended when I suggested that maybe being in-person with the rest of the actual company could translate into more opportunities for me after a year. Ghosted me after that session. From recruiter description rest of process was standard technical screen than a full onsite round.

One HR call, followed by a one hour coding interview. The problem I got was the same Painter implementation everyone else seems to be getting. I got it working, passed all test cases, with some time to spare. The next day I got a rejection email. I asked the recruiter if they can provide any feedback and they said it's company policy to not provide any feedback. What?

Was reached out to by an external recruiter for Color multiple times. Talked to a hiring manager and then was sent for the coding challenge. Had the barebones correct but couldn't get this dumb conversion they wanted. Even proposed an alternate solution. Compiler was SUPER slow (>1 min) and that really screwed up my interview. Interviewer acknowledged that but continued to ask me to compile the code. He was "totally shocked" at how slow it was which i found pretty unprofessional. Like your tools for interviewing should work properly for a (basically) timed test or my pseudocode should be acceptable. Was sent a denial email almost a week later with the standard rejection.
