Process
The interview process involved multiple steps: behavioral, technical, and a case study.
The interviewer was extremely late and rushed me through the 30-minute technical interview, completing it in just 10 minutes.
Despite being assured by the recruiter that this would not affect my experience, I was still put through a difficult process.
