Recruiter reached out to me. Had a good call with him and that he would pass my resume to the hiring manager to schedule an interview. I followed up twice due to no contact after 3 weeks. The recruiter then emails me that the hiring manager decided not to go forward
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Paramount in Feb 2023
Interview
First round was with one of the worst recruiters I've had to deal with in a long time. Clearly didn't read my resume, kept interrupting me with questions I already answered minutes ago during the call, and gave me the wrong information a few times. Second round was with the engineering manager who seemed like a nice guy. I had some interesting conversations with him about the tech and projects. He asked me generic Java language questions (OOP), a few leetcode type questions, and then had me ask questions of my own. If it wasn't for the recruiter I would have rated the interview experience as positive.

Generic Java language questions (OOP), a few leetcode type questions that shouldn't cause you problems if you've studied the basics.
I applied online and someone from HR reached out to me. After the initial phone screen, I was scheduled for a technical interview with the hiring manager. The process took around a week.

Interview
I had an technical interview with them for three hours, they didn’t provide me with a proper feedback, they don’t even lift the phone after the interview. This is totally unprofessional .
