I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days.

I attended a round focused on data structures and problem-solving, and I felt that a more experienced interviewer is needed when evaluating senior candidates. Having a junior developer ask DSA questions and puzzles to someone with 8 years of experience seems misaligned. Puzzles don't truly measure a candidate's practical skills. When I asked questions during the interview, the response was, "Use Google." It felt dismissive, and I was ultimately rejected without a proper evaluation of my real capabilities.

Data structures and algorithms: hashmap and priority queue.
