This was a lengthy and demanding process. First round was an HR screening with coding questions, second round was supposed to be technical/ behavioral but was literally just technical questions. Then there was a technical assignment. By this point I had completely lost interest due to the long turn around times and how demanding they were in terms of the technical project. Third round was a panel meeting where, again, it was supposed to be technical and behavioral but there was maybe 1 behavioral question and they didn't really get to know me at all. Although I knew all answers to the coding questions and everything about the technical assignment, they seemed to expect that I had a degree in physics by some of the questions being asked.
I left the interview feeling like they didn't understand that I was a software engineer not a physicist but I guess that's what happens when the people conducting the interview don't actually have a degree in software engineering lol. Interviewers seemed inexperienced and did not know how to conduct an interview, it just felt like a quiz about their own job titles. Received a generic copy and paste email the next week which I thought was very rude. A lot of red flags and I would highly recommend reading up on their culture before applying for a job there.
Everything is about Python and C++.
