The procedure was standard: LinkedIn search, apply, HR interview, algorithmic interview, system design, and a team interview with managers. The team interview was the last one for me; I'm not sure what would have come next.

Both technical stages went well for me. The interviewers were polite, respectful, and nice to talk to; I have no complaints here.

I received negative feedback after the team interview. The interviewers found some red flags regarding my ownership and suspected that I had problems collecting requirements. Also, the interviewer mentioned that I didn't meet their level for a senior developer, as per the feedback for the system design interview. I was offered one more interview with another team, but I decided to stop there.

Pros:

• Interesting product
• Technical staff seemed to be good developers
• More or less standard approach to interviewing people

Cons:

• Some instances of disrespectful attitude from HR and the managers.
• They seem to prefer a perfectly polished selling speech from the interviewee over an honest story about ups and downs (not for me; I can't tolerate hypocrisy).
• The HR representative wasn't able to explain why I didn't meet their senior developer level. (I mean, what was the reason for saying that then? It seemed like an attempt to downplay my experience.)

Conclusion: I don't regret applying for the role. It's always good to know what's out there and talk to people outside your usual social circle. Even though it didn't work out for me, I had a few takeaways, which is awesome.
