Entrevista
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.

Every round is a knockout round. There are four rounds for a Senior role.
1. DSA - Binary search related problem
2. Agent Assisted Live Coding round - Problem statement is closely related to Apollo.io work. You can use AI to solve the problem.
3. System Design round - Again something specific to their work.
Got rejected after this round. My interview went well but they had rejected me with some feedback. I couldn't relate the feedback with my interview.
There is one more round which is behavioral.
