Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Recruiter call -> phone screen (2 coding rounds) -> onsite round (4 rounds: AI coding, system design, behavioral, HM).

Recruiter emailed me a couple days later for the rejection and gave me feedback.

Overall, it was a positive experience, and all my interviewers were pleasant.
