Interview
Don't waste your time with this company. They take 3 insane rounds no interviewer knows what previous rounds completed. They will keep asking for ui questions eventhough I said I am backend. Very baised. Never received any updates after final after multiple followups. Total waste of time

1 hour technical take home coding challenge review of the coding exercise and more technical basic questions
1 hour with manager behaviour questions and technical questions
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS COMPANY !!! What a terrible interview process, was reached out by HR person on Linkden to interview. I said sure why not. She set me up with an interview with the hiring manager, it was totally unprofessional.
Mid way in the interview he said that he misread my resume and no longer wanted to continue the interview. Highly unethical and unprofessional interviewer. Honestly I have had better experiences when apply for waiter/sales jobs at random companies when I was a student.
