Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks.
- Recruiter screen
- Tech Screen
- HM interview
- Onsite (did not reach)
I failed the HM interview such that I was not even matched with other teams. The technical screen was very easy as long as you use object-oriented design.
