Behavioral Call
4-Hour Interview with mix of technical and behavioral questions.
Felt like the engineers didn’t want to be delivering the interview. The final round is also way too long and doesn’t respect the candidates’ time.
Negative experience because I spent nearly 8 hours on interviews just to get rejected. I felt disrespected due to the amount of time the interviews took.
Practice string manipulations for the technical interviews.
