1. Recruiter interview
2. Take home coding assessment
3. Interview with a senior engineer

Assessment was easy, it took them about 2 weeks to review, which could be understandable given that the company was on holiday.

According to the recruiting staff, the first interview was to discuss the assessment. However, the interviewer engineer focused on technical questions on random topics during the whole interview, leaving just a few minutes to talk about the assessment at the very end, and that's just because I mentioned it. To make matters worse, it was obvious that he hadn't even seen my code, and the questions he asked were very superficial.

Although I acknowledge I didn't perform on the technical questions (as I wasn't prepared or expecting that), I don't know why the company asks for an assessment if they don't really follow their own process, it's just a waste of time, not just for them but also for the interviewee.

Overall, this was a terrible interviewing experience.

Questions about some technologies like k8s, Redis, Cassandra. CS concepts like CAP theorem, consistent hashing, caching, rate limiting, etc.
