The interview process began with an initial introduction from the HR representative. They provided an overview of the company and the role and asked general questions about my background and experience. Next, I moved on to the technical portion of the interview, where I was tasked with refactoring some TypeScript code using common design patterns. Unfortunately, the live coding editor didn't support TypeScript, which resulted in many errors and noise during the session. Despite this, I tried my best to showcase my knowledge of design patterns and my problem-solving skills. After the technical portion of the interview, I received feedback from the interviewer. They mentioned that they were impressed with my understanding of design patterns, but unfortunately, they were looking for someone with more experience in Java, which is not my case. However, the interviewer asked me to keep in touch with the company for future positions, indicating that they were still interested in my qualifications. Overall, it was a challenging but informative experience, and I appreciated the opportunity to showcase my skills and learn more about the company and the role.

Process was very long, very unclear and despite initial promises very time consuming. Tests were alright, but impressions from certain team members were pretty approximate. I passed 5-6 rounds of interviews, 2 of which were practical coding tests. I fulfilled all the requirements in both tests, and went smooth through cultural interviews. I got rejected because I asked questions, like, which tool should I use, or what technique is preferred. Tip for interviewers: when someone asks what tool should he use, and names few of them, don't suppose he doesn't know, but think that they maybe can solve problem in the number of ways and wants to adjust to your input and company standards. Like this, I feel like I completely wasted my time on average company, with above average funding. That funding is also questionable, as company pushed workers to receive salary in stocks, but keeps hiring still?
