Graduate Software Developer Interview Experience

Process
I applied online.
- Round 1 was one online assessment.
- Round 2 had four online assessments and one behavioral questionnaire, which is supposed to take four to five hours to complete.
The OA questions are not the traditional LeetCode-styled ones with multiple choice and textboxes. You need to write and run code in your own editor, terminal, or IDE to answer. The recruiter was not helpful and always answers with their AI email assistant. The interview took too long and is fully one-sided. It's not helpful to demonstrate your abilities and thought process, even with the five-hour runtime.

Pros: People inspire you. Everyone is amazing, and the founders are LEADERS, not "bosses". They are the most hard working among everyone, and you can't help but feel inspired by their vision and view of the world.
Cons: It does get a bit overwhelming. Working side by side with such amazing people is great, but it does put a pressure on you. You do feel like you make the difference in the products, but you also have a lot of responsibility which kinda puts you under pressure at times, but that's just fair.
