I had a screening call with the hiring manager. This was a forty-five minute behavioral screen where I discussed my background and the hiring manager described the team he manages. I passed that stage.

Two weeks later, I completed a virtual onsite interview. This interview was four and a half hours long and included three coding rounds and two system design rounds.

One of the interviewers, a principal engineer who conducted a system design round, was extremely rude and kept interrupting me, which distracted my focus. Another interviewer was smug and generally gave me a negative impression.

This interview was for a Senior Engineer role. The next day, the recruiter called to inform me that I did not meet the bar for Senior Engineer but did meet the bar for Software Engineer II. I was asked if I would be interested in the Software Engineer II role, to which I agreed.

My recruiter stated she would try to find a team for me. Two weeks later, the recruiter informed me that she was unable to find a team and my candidacy was no longer under consideration.
