Process

Scheduling is easy, great feedback!

First 10-20 min call with recruiter to see alignment, then first LeetCode style interview (like lc easy) then 2 other technical interviews on the same day - end to end interview and system design round

The interviews in themselves are bad, they just try and force everything like it comes from Monday.com or the problem is a real example of Monday.com, there's nothing bad in this approach, the only thing is they don't have a clear problem definition and the interviewers are expecting something with a narrow mind, if you come up with different solution or approach, you're screwed

Questions

It was something very simple like search from a list of keys in dictionary, more like elastic search's inverted index

End to end - question was like you've to move a block between different columns and how will you manage it's index in db, i think this was there in some other interview feedback here as well, same question.

System design was like - showed me a automation part in monday.com and asked me to design it, however if you deviate a little from interviewer's perspective, they just don't like it, they are looking for something specific and if your design differs you're done for. So much for diversity and open discussion :(
