Process
The interview itself was okay.
There were two engineers; they were supportive and nice.
However, I was ghosted after the first round of the tech interview. I wrote a few emails, but there was no response.
Questions
System design, something like Kafka.

Pros: Great work-life balance. People are interested in growth and learning, too. People take care of each other.
Cons: Could have been more engaging. Lot of people in the office, but not enough activities.
Tech stack is old, yes, but that's an opportunity, not a problem. The bar is still quite high, and you work with good engineers.
