A laborious process.

Multiple calls with:

• Recruiter
• 1 Hiring Manager
• 1 Tech Lead
• 1 code review
• 1 systems design
• 1 programming (you don't touch the keyboard)
• 1 behavioral

Most interviews had 2 people.

While HashiCorp projects the process to "simulate real work," it felt like an attempt to trick you and simply project brain teasers. Many interviewers came across as caustic.

There was also never more than 5 minutes left for me to ask questions. Lots of red flags throughout.

Elevator system

In-memory database with nested transactions

Code review

Odd behavioral questions that never really got into any depth.
