I applied through a recruiter. The process took four weeks.

TLDR: There is a horrible talent team with no courtesy to follow up with an offer for two weeks even after they had no negative feedback for the interview and showed the intention of hiring.

The process was a technical coding screening followed by an onsite round of coding, system design, and behavioral. After one week, they came back to add another round of interview for me, which was an architectural round. I assumed this to be a leveling round given their feedback so far, although the recruiter said they needed more signals. The talent head followed up after four days saying all good things and that they wanted to extend an offer.

I arranged a call with the hiring manager to understand leveling and job role details. The hiring manager had no clue about my interview feedback and only went by my resume. They told me that compensation decides leveling and that I need to follow up with the recruiter on that, but given my experience, I will be considered for a very senior position. The talent head followed up with a casual email of a follow-up call in the evening four days later, which I responded to, and then they went back to being MIA.

I want to highlight the great experience this company offers to candidates who have invested so much time interviewing with them and most likely lowball the ones who will be hired too.

Some questions related to the work they do.
