Unnecessarily gatekeepy company mindset which is off putting from the get-go, and far too intense an interview process with 2 separate multi-hour long interview phases. The interview rounds consisted of values focused questions and, tech test, followed by a pair programming session focused around building a "minicom" MVP style project.

The values session was fine, asked 3 questions that were more left field than their prep documents suggest, as for the tech test interviewer, they were barely responsive and uninterested in providing much feedback or guidance though overall it was a fairly easy exercise. Despite how time consuming it was, none of the interviews related to the actual role (mobile engineer), so no opportunity is given to the interviewee to play up to their strengths or discuss their experience in that area which is quite disappointing.

Tech test: write method calls for a getter/setter based on user/timestamps key-value pairs.
