Process
I didn't apply; a recruiter reached out to me through LinkedIn.
The first interview was with HR, asking about my experience.
The second interview was to implement a thread-safe URL shortener, following SOLID principles, and everything had to be tested. Although I implemented it in a thread-safe way and followed SOLID principles, the feedback I received was that I had "difficulties understanding the tasks" and only detailed the negative points of the interview. This seems harsh, given how the interview went.
I should have expected this, based on other reviews I have seen here. Additionally, the technical interviewer had a strong Russian accent that was not easy to understand.
