Incompetent - they scheduled an interview and failed to call. Fifteen minutes into the interview time a recruiter got back saying they decided not to do the interview after I had spent time reviewing, preparing and waiting for their call. They indicated that my latest experience wasn't what they were looking for after approving my resume for the interview and many years of the specific experience they were seeking.

The interview process consisted of: 1 introductory chat with Hiring Manager and recruiter 2 coding rounds (DSA, algorithms; Amazon-level difficulty) 2 behavioral rounds (largely leadership principles, very Amazon-style) 1 system design round (not at true large-scale, but expecting detailed solutions) Most interviewers were direct, but some came across as rude and dismissive. The interviewers are mostly ex-Amazon employees, and the process closely mirrors Amazon’s standards. Be prepared for tough questions regardless. If you're a current or ex-Amazonian, you'll likely get calls for interviews. Otherwise, it's quite hard to even get considered — the process seems biased toward Amazon candidates. Company Policies & Benefits: The benefits are not as competitive as the rest of the industry. They offer 6 weeks of maternity leave for birth mothers, which is quite limited compared to other tech companies. Visa sponsorship is not offered upfront; they only consider it after your first year based on performance and business needs. Overall Experience: The process felt unnecessarily tough for a company of their scale, with an over-reliance on Amazon-style evaluation. Culture and benefits also seem less attractive compared to bigger or more established companies.
