Process
The interview was scheduled by the hiring manager.
It started with the first round, a 30-minute phone interview. The interviewer was very friendly and seemed knowledgeable about any technology stack. He was primarily testing my problem-solving skills.
I never heard back from him after the interview. I tried emailing him more than 5 times, but I didn't get any reply.
