The interview process was smooth and consisted of three rounds. The first round was a brief phone screening. This was followed by a one-on-one session with my prospective manager that lasted around 30–45 minutes, where he asked about my previous work experience and posed a few real-world API-based scenarios. The final round was a panel interview with 5–6 team members. They asked a mix of behavioral and technical questions, with a strong focus on real-world situations—for example, how to make an API more robust or how to handle security concerns. A significant portion of the discussion centered around my past work experiences, particularly how my contributions influenced the overall functionality and success of the product. The panel seemed especially interested in understanding the impact I had made in my previous roles.

Had a phone screen but that was about it. The interviewer seemed kind enough, but said they were hiring for candidates who could start immediately. That being said, he said he would talk to his hiring manager to see if I could still be considered for the process, and said that he would try to get an email with their decision at the very end of the day. I never got that email, and it's been about a week and a half. I sent a follow up email asking if I was still being considered for the process, and no response. If you're going to reject a candidate, please send out a rejection email. I would have said this was a positive interview if I had received any form of communication, because I understand that the process was geared towards someone who could start ASAP, and I genuinely had a good time talking to the interviwer. Very disappointed.
