Recruiter screen, online assessment, 4 back to back interview. OOP, Coding, Sys Design, Coding The OOP session interviewer was the only decent person. The principal engineer was easy to talk to, discuss solution approach, tests, etc. In the coding session I offered an optimized solution, albeit not exactly clean. I could use 1 for loop instead of 2. The interviewer was not chill about it at all. Like it was the worse piece of code he's ever seen. Dude's been there for like his entire life and was probably scare someone might take his job. The design session was the worse of all. The interviewer interject at every turn to critique what I said and then offered nothing of value. No direction, nothing. He just folded his arm and wanted to see how much he can make me sweat. The experience is not exactly out of the ordinary as he had experienced from one of the WITCH. One of those, I brush it off. The last coding session is a little out of the ordinary. It was more of a knowledge check on thread, parallel programming, concurrency. How would your method handle in those situation. I didn't know. Interviewer was fairly neutral.

The process started with a typical recruiter screening. I was then sent a Codility assessment. This was a practical assessment using React with a time limit of 70 - 90 minutes. If I remember correctly, you only needed to pass 60% of the test cases. Some of the test cases were a little difficult to understand though. Then there was a live coding interview with an engineer. The question wasn't too difficult. I could have down better, but it's been a minute since I did an interview like this lol. There was also some behavorial questions about development and working with a team. I believe there were going to be 2 more coding/behavorial rounds after this. Unfortunately, the interviewer was having internet issues and kept disconnecting and reconnecting which was really distracting. I remember being specifically told that no matter the outcome, I would hear back. Well... it's been over a month and I haven't heard a thing. This process was way too long especially since there was atleast 2 more long interviews in the process.
