A pretty typical interview pipeline for a larger company:

• Recruiter screening
• Management + Tech lead screening with one technical question
• All-day, four to five-person interview panels (two technical, two management).

I'm really disappointed in the recruiter who assisted me, though. During our first interaction, they called me by someone else's name, and I questioned whether or not I should even be in the process. Next, after I completed my full interview day, they took nearly three weeks to get back to me. Apparently, they had gone on vacation, and I received a templated decline response with no feedback or reasons why.

It's sad that I wasted weeks of effort and worry on a job I honestly really wanted. I almost fear my recruitment coordinator's vacation time delayed their hiring process, so they just went with another candidate for the job. I'm really upset.

FizzBuzz and systems design. Live coding and general management questions.
