Process was smooth and the talent partner was professional. We went over some basic questions and eligibility of this job, and I was notified that there will be another round the next few weeks.

Recruiter interviewed me. 6 weeks later I get the same invite (exact email word-for-word) with the same recruiter asking to interview. It was not a second round, it was a first round. These guys literally forgot that they have interviewed me. I emailed back checking if this was a second round or if they wanted a redo. They ghosted. Not even a rejection. Literally a joke. As HR you have on job, and the fact that you can’t even keep track of who you interviewed and who you haven’t says a lot.

Had a screening call with HR at first, it went great and they were very professional. I moved on to the technical round, which was about two weeks later. I was interviewed by a software lead, and the interview felt rather difficult for an intern position, It was purely system design. They expected me to implement consistent hashing without having prior knowledge of it.
