They asked me some basics Questions related to coding. Which i have answered, but got the rejection as they are looking for other people.Not sure what there expectations are? They didnt give me any feedback
Didn't even get that far. Was scheduled with a recruiter, and then last minute cancelled and introduced to another person who rescheduled me with a new person. The new recruiter was outright rude and unprofessional. I then found out that my original recruiter was fired. Seems like red flags all around. Avoid.

Interview
Check the comments about toxic culture and the interview process, because this company really fits that description. The interviewers have terrible people skills and ask puzzle-style questions for a senior role.
I passed the first algorithm interview and was then scheduled for four more. The debugging interview was a complete joke and again focused on puzzle-style questions instead of real-world problems.
The interviewers don’t help when you ask questions. They are only there to judge you and make the process harder. The culture seems like they are only looking for yes-men.

Question 1
The "debugging" interview was a Caesar cipher puzzle. Each character was shifted by some +/− offset, but the code was badly written: heavy ASCII character mapping, non-descriptive variable names, and messy logic. It felt like a trick puzzle, not real debugging work you’d do in a senior role.
The first algorithm interview was about removing fields or detecting changes in object fields. There were three questions that could basically be solved by tweaking the first solution, but they wanted me to reimplement it each time instead of reusing or adjusting what I had already written. Basically, we were counting how many changes exist between two objects recursively.
