I am a tech lead and applied for the Senior Full Stack Engineer position. The only positive thing about their process was the recruiter call; the recruiter was very friendly.

The next step was a coding challenge. A common trait among all their interviewers is that they are extremely unfriendly. They gave me a LeetCode question that was very easy; I finished it in 10 minutes and optimized it. I was surprised when they said the interview was over. I thought I had made a mistake because it was really short, but I actually moved to the next round.

Next was the system design interview. Again, the interviewers were extremely unfriendly. The question asked was actually a cool one, and I was excited to start designing. Then the team lead stopped me and said, "We will only focus on the frontend and assume the server is a black box." That should be a criminal offense to say in a system design interview, so basically, this was a frontend design interview.

My assumption is that a frontend engineer interviewed me and had no knowledge of the backend, making them uncomfortable asking questions about it.

Coding: LeetCode Easy

System Design: Not a system design interview.
