I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.

1. Call with recruiter was good, he outlined the company, and interview process. Very friendly and open to questions. 2. Call with engineering manager was also great, he gave me a rundown of the product, the team, the tech they use, etc... --This is where things fall apart -- 3. Panel interview with some other engineers. I was given documents about requirements and allowed to ask questions to look for requirement gaps etc..

However it felt like they didn't even want to answer my questions. From what I understand the whole point of this phase is to evaluate my ability to understand requirements? Given 1 week to complete the assignment. 4. I was told this next interview was to review my assignment, answer questions and technical discussion.

But most of it was very aggressive technical questioning that had nothing to do with the assignment. The questions were completely random, some of them were algorithm questions, some language specific questions, some questions about a framework I have never used (they knew this), some architecture questions. I wasn't given any warning about what type of questions would be asked so it was impossible to prepare for this.

Overall the vibe with the other engineers was almost hostile. Like the purpose was not to get to know me or evaluate me, but like they had the goal of trying to trip me up, unfortunately very common among software engineering interviews.
