The whole interview process took me 4 weeks.

1. I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter for a telephonic interview to learn about Toast, my skills, and my interests. The recruiter then scheduled a technical telephonic interview.

2. During the telephonic technical interview, the interviewer gave me a problem to solve using Javascript, HTML, and CSS. It went well, and I received an update the next day for an onsite interview. I had mentioned to the interviewer that I was very comfortable with one of the Javascript frameworks.

3. The onsite interview consisted of 5 rounds. The first round was very good, and I enjoyed it. It involved the front-end technical stack. Here, they asked me to write code in another Javascript framework, which I was new to, and I had informed them about this well before my onsite interview was scheduled. I guess the interviewers did not know about my skill set or did not see my resume. I had only a few days of experience with that other JS framework.

4. From the 2nd to the 5th round of interviews, it was all discussion, only talking. I was bored from here onwards. I am a person who wants to solve/write code.

5. In my final round, the person who interviewed me was sleeping while I was talking. I felt demotivated and bad.

Here are my 2 cents: Instead of the 2nd to 5th rounds of interviews, it would be good to have Data Structures, Javascript, HTML, and CSS interviews. I strongly believe one round for a manager/behavioral interview is good.

At the end of the day, I was too tired after talking too much.

Q. A lot of questions regarding your experience and skills.
