Interview
3ish rounds consisting of recruiter screen & two technical interviews. I believe there is a 4th round but not sure. Recruiter screen was rushed, technical interviews were a bit strained and were geared towards an SDET / SET and not QA. I was asked to provide feedback after the technical rounds ( I did). I reached out a week after for feedback and did not receive any. I ultimately was ghosted.
Honestly, I should have listened to my gut about this after the rushed screening. No one could properly articulate what the day to day would look like or what expectations would be. It was disappointing to provide feedback and not receive any in return. Practice makes perfect though and this was a good example of what to look out for and hopefully avoid in future interviews. Bullet dodged.

Interview
Multiple rounds of leetcode interviews after one introductory one. The problems felt kinda repetitive and I don't understand why they needed to put me through 4 rounds before rejecting me without a given reason, via no-reply email. It would be nice if people who made it through 4 rounds could at least get a personalized rejection. The people seemed friendly at least.
