I applied last year and successfully passed the home test assignment. Then came the live coding session, where I was rejected—not for my coding skills, but simply because I didn't think out loud. This year, I applied again and faced the same home coding test as last time. I refined and optimized my previous solution, focusing on scalability and best practices. Yet, despite the improvements, I was rejected at this very stage.

The first interview is a straightforward HR screening. After that, there's a coding assignment focused on tax rate calculations, which is simple but somewhat time-consuming. Finally, the process includes a system design interview followed by a live coding session.
