The interview process was long and arduous, with very little feedback provided along the way.

After the final interview, the recruiter informed me that the hiring manager was looking for someone with more Java experience for senior-level roles. Why wasn't this communicated at the start, or made clear on the job posting? It's perplexing.

I even asked my interviewers if this was a significant concern, and they indicated it wasn't at all.

In fact, some even mentioned they hardly know any Java or Kotlin. One interviewer even preferred me to not use Java on a code challenge, and we switched to JavaScript, which is quite telling for a "Java shop."

The whole recruiting experience felt like a dumpster fire. It seems nobody truly knew what they wanted in a candidate, and it simply wasted everyone's time.

Mostly asked what I would consider popular, medium-level LeetCode questions.
