Interview process had many interviews: 1 recruiter screen 1, 1-hour technical screen 3, 1-hour "second round" technical screens 1, 1-hour call with CTO Interviews were scheduled quickly. Questions were "LC easy" but focus was more on approach and extensibility.

It was among the worst interview experiences in my life. Actually, I think it was the worst interview experience in my life. I passed the following 5 technical interview screens: - Recruiter CS/web architecture type screening quiz - Technical screen with hiring manager 1 (basic question, not tricky, fairly tricky follow up question) - Technical screen with solutions architect (basic question, not tricky) - Technical screen with CTO (encryption) - Technical screen with head of full-stack (concurrency and maybe considered a LeetCode easy to medium) The last interviewer asked no technical questions, and was trying to get an answer from me which was you should hardcode prototypes basically. Then he assumed I've never submitted PR request and started talking down to me. The company then ghosted me, after continually promising me that I'm likely to get the job and keeping on asking me to drop everything and take an interview the next or within the next two days. One hiring manager decided to skip an interview so they picked another manager to interview me without telling me beforehand. As a woman in tech, I also felt very uncomfortable with the feedback of "be more confident", "be on the ball", and being "besties" with another female engineer. I'm now wondering if the last interviewer was sexist too, considering he did not ask any objective technical question. It's very unprofessional, just be prepared for that.
