big fat red flags through out the interview process, look up in google for "red flags during interviews" and they have shown every single one of them. Ghosted after 5 rounds of interview, no offer, no rejections, straight up ghosting even after I emailed for follow up.

2 phone interview coding problem
Round 1: Chinese ProfessorAt the start, he mentioned that the actual implementation wasn't the priority; the focus was on the problem-solving approach. The task was to guess a hidden number. While it clearly called for a Binary Search, there was a twist: the system doesn't give you feedback on your current guess immediately. Instead, it only provides the result of your previous guess. Essentially, it was a Delayed Binary Search.Round 2: Caucasian MaleThis was a very straightforward BFS (Breadth-First Search) problem.I’m honestly not sure why I didn't pass. It’s possible I just wasn't a "team match," or perhaps there was a subtle optimization they were looking for.Analysis & ThoughtsThat first round is a classic "think-on-your-feet" brainteaser. In a Delayed Binary Search, you usually have to "waste" a move or manage two search intervals simultaneously because your $n$-th guess is informed by the $(n-1)$-th result. It tests how you handle state and asynchronous feedback.
