Process
The interview experience left a sour taste.
The process was well explained with multiple stages. However, I was rejected in the first screening round, even after discussing my approach and solving the problem statement.
I requested additional feedback on what I could do to improve, but I did not receive any response.
They pride themselves on having a unique interview process compared to others, but I did not feel that way.
