First screening call with recruiter. Second was a 1 hr interview with coding and technical questions. The coding was pretty easy, but needed more work on improving complexity. Technical questions around projects and Java memory management etc, pretty standard. Interviewer was very knowledgeable and respectful, I enjoyed the interview and think that's how they should be conducted. Even though I didn't make it, mostly due to no preparation on my end.

Recruiters were welcoming and thorough. There was a 45 minute initial interview with Hiring Manager. The Hiring Manager and Recruiters were not on same page. Hiring manager wanted a Senior Staff Engineer who would code 100% of the team. The job description and recruiters advertised a true Principal Engineer role with aspects of leadership.
