Background: 4 Years of experience as Software Engineer First round: Recruiter call for 30 minutes discussing my background and my expectations from next role. Codility: Was given online assessment containing 2 programming questions and 1 sql question. After test, recruiter contacted me in couple days asking me that they want to move forward. But then I was handed off to another recruiter who works for team in Seattle. I was asked to come onsite in Fremont with some video interviews with folks in Seattle. Onsite consisted of 5 rounds: Chat with PM -> team fit style questions Lunch interview tech round -> data modelling question chat with manager -> team fit style questions tech round -> interviewer was in no mood for interview. He was really tired. Asked me some simple string manipulation question for the sake of it. Finished interview 15 minutes before scheduled. At that point itself I knew I am not getting this job. I cannot share any specific questions due to NDA. But overall, it was not a very difficult interview.

Had my interviews around February 2025. First round was a recruiter screening, where we went over my resume and experience briefly, as well as what the next stage of the interviews is. Second interview was a technical round. I was expecting the typical DSA round, but was surprised that it was a deep dive into Java. The interview was pretty much consistent questions about the java language, internals, how GC worked, when to use "static", etc. etc.
