Mainly went thru the initial HR screen and then we found out that we were not a good match due to difference in the infrastructure their team uses vs my own specialties.

I was originally reached out to by a recruiter. Pretty standard tech interview process: 1. Recruiter phone screen 2. Tech screen (with coding) 3. System design (whiteboard) 4. Final round, 3 in a row (System design, coding, behavioral/tell me about a time where you...) Everyone was very nice, questions seemed appropriate for role level, and I received positive feedback throughout the process. After the final round of interviews, I met one last time with a coordinator who told me I would receive feedback within a few days at the latest. I checked in with her several times as days/weeks went by, and never heard anything - I was completely ghosted. I felt that I did very well on the final round, but who knows. Maybe they went into a hiring freeze or the position was filled, or maybe I bombed. I spent many hours interviewing with them and preparing, so it's a pretty bad look to be ghosted like this.

The process was overall alright, they didn't think I was quite good enough but oh well. The interviews were standard, two screens, an onsite with two interviews, and then a hiring manager convo if they think you're worthy. 1st phone screen - had to do the task time average calculation problem that other people have mentioned in their reviews 2nd phone screen - talked through how I would code up a basic problem (finding common things in two lists) and then had to talk about how to solve that problem at scale (so sys design-ish) Onsite interview #1 - come up with a data structure for a fitness tracker app that tracks mile/km splits (can pause in the middle of a workout) and then write a function that derives the splits from the data Onsite interview #2 - URL shortener for system design, pretty standard and they weren't expecting crazy scale so was pretty easy
