A recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn. After a long chat, he told me he would forward my profile to the teams.

One week later, he reached out, and I got in contact with the team interested in me.

1st interview - Behavioral

Two people asked questions, judging personality and giving scenarios, asking about challenges I've faced. After the interview, I received a go-ahead for the tech interview.

2nd interview - Tech

I had an interview with a software developer and a senior member. The first 45 minutes were filled with questions on various topics, such as hashmaps, how data centers work, what I think happens when we put a URL in the browser, and HTTP requests.

The second 45 minutes involved a technical question. I solved it and covered the edge cases, and the developer was satisfied.

A day later, the manager informed me I was not selected because I missed something in the tech interview.

This process is very exciting for software engineers. If you are passionate about games, you will be excited. However, the process itself is a true time waste. You can invest your time and energy elsewhere, in a much better place, in my opinion. Interview at a place where the people hiring you know what they are doing.
