The first step was a recruiter call to discuss my resume. The recruiter was asking basic technical questions about https, tcp, etc. which I found to be odd as they were basing my answers on a list provided by the hiring manager. The second step was a long interview with the hiring managers and senior engineers, no coding problems, but general questions about your experience, behavioral questions, and projects you worked on. Everyone I met with was friendly, but I was unfortunately ghosted after the second round and my follow up email was ignored as well.
The interview process was smooth, well-organized, and professional. It began with an initial online screening, followed by a technical round focused on coding, data structures, and problem-solving. Finally, the HR round assessed communication skills, cultural fit, and overall enthusiasm for the role. Each stage was clearly explained, and the interviewers were supportive throughout the process.
