The most confusing interview process I've had.

• The recruiting team reached out, and I wanted to learn more about the positions. They insisted that I send my resume with details on my education for my bachelor's and master's degrees (what degree/which school/when/etc.). Keep in mind I was in school 9+ years ago!
• There was no talk with the hiring manager at all, straight to a semi-onsite interview. Three sessions were scheduled, 45 minutes each.
• They asked me to study the company and product to show my interest during the interview.
• I had no idea which of these three interviews were supposed to be coding versus architecture, but that was fine.
• The first two interviews were done. I'm definitely not satisfied with how I wrote the code.
• I joined the last interview, and then instead of an interview, the recruiting team came in and said they thought I wasn't a good fit, which on its own is fine. However, this is definitely not how I would describe the smoothest process.
• They also told me that I could "apply again" if I wanted to.

Not the best interview process you can imagine, for sure, and not the way to create goodwill in a company.

Some string/list manipulation.
