I spoke with HR first; she seemed nice. She wanted both parties to keep each other updated, meaning no ghosting.

Next was a 3-hour coding test based on look development (nodes & ports in a graph). Only C++ was allowed.

The following step was an interview with engineers, and that's where the real challenge began. They provided no time or silence for thinking, constantly bombarding me with hints and noise. It would have been better if they had chilled out and let the candidate work.

After that, there was no news, as I was ghosted by the HR representative who specifically stated not to ghost.
