Engineering is a total mess:
The company is around the globe and in multiple time zones. Build up a communication culture that would respect people's working hours.
Ask engineering about the inefficiencies they are facing (some are huge) and prioritize addressing them.
- Phone screen with recruiter - Phone screen with engineer/manager - On-site: 5 rounds. Every round was technical. One round was lunch, but the interviewer did not let me eat, continuing to ask more questions.
- HR - Tech Interviews - System Design Interview: Design a message system. Other things are uncertain as I withdrew from the process. Maybe I need to know more about system deep dives than usual system design interviews.
The hiring manager asked questions about my previous work, but it was obvious they didn't care. After that, I received no word from them about my recruitment. It would be better if they could at least let me know I'm not what they're looking for.
