Got an email from the recruiter. Setup a 45 minute phone screen. Very easy OOP style coding. Wrapped it up in like 15-20 minutes and then rest of the time just chatted with the interviewer. Very fast response from the recruiter and moved to the onsite round immediately. The onsite was kinda brain draining. 4 x rounds of 45 minute coding. Like who does 4x round of 45 min coding and then a match interview. Even FAANG themselves they dont do more than 2 coding (DSA) else job specific coding (Web, mobile, etc). The interviewers weren't collaborative either. They were much more of proctorers. Like whats the fun?? If Im the only one thinking and trying hard and the other person is just seeing my face. 1 or 2 coding rounds is fine (the FAANG standard) but 5x coding rounds is just insane. The biggest turn off was they don't even care about past background, your stack experience or whats your expertise domain. They just want you to code leetcode for 4 hours. Like how are evaluating a candidate?? If someone just crams leetcode and gets the job, yea that pretty much tells about the standard of engineering there LMAO. Don't waste your time here.

Scheduled a screen after outreach from a recruiter. During the screen, 45 minutes long, was asked after 10 minutes of conversation which ran down my clock, to solve a LeetCode Hard with 35 minutes and a hard stop. Inappropriate for a mid level role. Company does not interview fairly.
