The process is straightforward, nothing out of the ordinary.

• Recruiter chat
• Phone screen
• Virtual onsite panel (2 technical, 1 design, culture fit)

The interview itself was of average/easy difficulty, but the problem is that this is the kind of company that looks for nitpicky reasons to not hire you.

I wrapped up the coding questions in half the time and all of their follow-up questions, yet later on they said I did not pass because I omitted something. I clearly stated that, because of the nature of the problem space, it did not account for these cases, and the interviewer agreed.

If I had known they were going to dock me for not doing something I explicitly asked them if it was okay not to do because of the specificity of the problem, I would've gladly done that. It was not a problem at all. Yet the interviewer failed me because of it. Thanks.

I was also told I talked too much? What kind of feedback is that. I answered behavioral questions in 30 seconds to 1 minute tops. I don't know how much shorter they were expecting, unless they were looking for simply "yes"/"no" responses.

Overall, this company does not understand how to interview or what they're looking for. I have a sense their criteria are absolutely not standardized and are just whether they like you or not.

Standard LeetCode stuff.

Behavioral questions (tell me about a time...)
