Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.

The whole process is a joke, wasted over 5 hours, and gave near perfect on-sites only to be rejected. Interviews themselves are easy and no LeetCode, but this makes it highly subjective for someone to assess your performance. The bar is just stupidly high here; if you didn't give all rounds perfectly, you will get rejected!!
