Process

It took over a month to set up their interview day. I emailed them two days before my interview day since I had not yet received my schedule. They told me that they were having a hard time finding someone for the behavioral interview.

I received my schedule the following day and saw that the first interview would be the behavioral one.

The day of the interview arrived. The person conducting the behavioral interviews joined the call, introduced themselves for about five minutes, and then started asking questions right away. This person did not even ask for my name. They did not ask me to introduce myself, nor did they give me the chance to do so.

For context, this is the opposite of how things are supposed to go according to the booklet they provided. The booklet states that the interviewer is not supposed to introduce themselves, but the interviewee is.

At that point, I just did not care as much as I had. Why would I want to work at a company where people would not even want to know my name?

After that, there were three more interviews. Two were coding interviews, and one was more conversational before coding.

The last interviewer could not even get the site where the interview was supposed to take place to work. So, I had to do the coding part on a blank notepad document.

My only advice is to not waste your time with this place. It is definitely not worth it. It was a terrible experience.
