I applied through another source. The process took four weeks.

• First round: a one-hour HR screening.
• Second round: a one-hour technical interview with coding on HackerRank.
• Third round: a one-hour system design interview on HackerRank.
• Fourth round: a one-hour behavioral interview with a hiring manager.

Unfortunately, after a verbal offer following the fourth round, there was a week of radio silence, followed by a phone call informing me that the role is no longer available due to a team restructure and repurpose. It was quite disappointing overall, considering the amount of time you have to spend on the interview process. A hiring freeze before such a move is a much more appropriate approach and ensures you won't waste the time of candidates, engineers running the interviews, and HR coordinating the whole process.

How do you approach managing conflict in your team?
