The interview with developers was nice. Just talking about technologies. The technical at-home task was fine, took some time to polish it, but got a nice review back. The cultural fit interview took a while to book. It was supposed to be a two-step call with a team lead and CTO. Techincal interviews were happening with the local office, while the cultural fit was supposed to be from the main Chinese office. I did not expect that team-lead would make me do any more technical tasks and got nervous about the pressure. They ghosted me after the first one, not even replying to the emails The whole process took 18 weeks

First Interviewer cancelled on me twice. Third time was the charm. Interviewed me for 20 minutes despite it being a senior role. Did not ask me a thing about my experience at all. Just gave a leetcode-style simulation question which was quite easy. Did not ask follow-ups even though we had time left and I deliberately took pains to keep my code flexible and extendable. Asked me to email him my (correct) answer and hung up within 25 minutes tops. Received rejection on the grounds that "other candidates were better". Got shunted into a different role by the recruiter. Interviewer again cancelled twice - once on the morning of, and once AFTER I was already in the Zoom and waiting. Voluntarily dropped out at that point
