Process

Please stay away and do not waste your time. I am not sure why they waste candidates' and their time if they cannot even get back with interview feedback.

I interviewed twice at two different times, and they asked me the same question both times. The first time, I wasn't able to solve it completely, and it was with a manager. The interview went for 1.2 hours, although scheduled for 1 hour. The discussion was good, but there was no feedback, not even a "no."

I emailed the recruiter multiple times.

For the second interview, the interviewer came 10 minutes late. They asked the same question. I solved it in 20 minutes with a running solution. Obviously, there was no time left for them to review or understand the solution, as 5 minutes also went on introductions and questions. I already told him at the start of the interview that we were late. "Do we really want to do this now?"

What I understood is they are not interested in hiring and may be interviewing just to show numbers. I am very disappointed that companies like this waste candidates' time.
