I applied online. The process took 1 week.

Some of the interviewers don't seem to be in-sync with what the recruiter sets up in terms of expectations. While some claim the interviewers aren't there to trick you, and I agree, they can however stumble you due to certain questions they ask in the most inappropriate times. One example would be making a suggestion on a code snippet that is clearly correct, thereby throwing off your train of thought (due to explaining why it is correct), while you're still working through a solution in your head. Would have liked if they interjected less. Simply because code isn't being typed out right away (interviewers have done the project millions of times, don't forget interviewers need more time to process things), does not mean one isn't running through a solution.

Basically, they interjected when they should just simply refrain and allow the process to run course. This was also a role specifically for a specialization, yet no one who interviewed me had any experience in that specialization and thus I was never asked once a question related to that specialization, ever. Which is crazy to me. This was also front-end role, yet half the time I spent explaining the backend, due to the interviewer being a backend engineer. There is a take-home, but the "pair-programming" section is actually a white board. Sure it isn't a leet code question, but the way you solve it, it may as well be. And while the technical deep dive isn't a white board either, I heavily relied on it to visually represent what i was trying to communicate.

Otherwise, I don't think I would have been able to clearly communicate deeply on a technical level as explicitly. Since it could get rather complex. I completed and answered, except for maybe one question that I may not have fully grasped fully at the time, but it was a rather minor one Due to the level of demand of time however (they basically have it laid out as a FAANG process [takes up the whole work day] -- just less leetcode-y), I likely would not re-apply or recommend anyone to apply, as it is both a take-home and two time white-board process. So this was misleading. Otherwise, positive experience.

Pair programming, delete a node from tree.
