Applied online for a software engineer position.

The interviewing process was very nice. The recruiter explained every step and everything I needed to know.

1. Phone interview (15 mins) Talked about my background and experience; nothing technical.

2. Online assessment (2 hours) Four LeetCode-type questions: easy, medium, medium, hard. A score of over 70% should be sufficient to pass, so don't worry if you don't have enough time to finish all questions.

3. Power day (4.5 hours) The interviewers had a very thick accent, making it difficult to understand them. They were also unwilling to repeat questions. There were technical issues on Codesignal.

   • Code: A LeetCode-type question requiring the writing of a function about prime numbers.
   • Design: A high-availability and scalable system design involving infrastructure, system design, and database design on a given topic. Covered UI, APIs, testing methods, resilience, DB schema, etc. Show as many details as possible.
   • Case: (1) Pros and cons on a given business case. (2) Given a piece of code and data, explain the logic, improvements, and expected output for a given input.
   • Behavioral: Three "tell me about a time" questions. Be as detailed as possible.

4. Catch-up (15 mins) Two days later, I received an email to schedule a follow-up call. The recruiter called and informed me that I was rejected. I really don't think they should handle it this way. Bad experience.
