You complete the OA and get invited for two technical interviews.

Not only is the OA quite difficult, but the technical interviews are as well. They focus solely on whether you can get the questions perfect.

The difficulty does not seem proportional to the negligible pay increase and the likely negative work environment I would be entering, even if I did hear back. In that case, I would have declined.

The worst part is that the recruiter (or at least the one I interacted with) was unprofessional. She was completely unresponsive and acted unprofessionally, even after I passed the interview. I was ghosted.

I can only imagine what the work culture there might be like. I do not want to work for a company like that anyway.

I was asked two LeetCode hard questions.
