First round was a recruiter screen. The second round was 3 interviews, over 2 days. One interview was coding, the second was values, and the third was system design. I aced the coding and values. For the system design, I felt I did well but got rejected a few days after due to missing one small part/answering one question wrong. I appreciate the hiring team telling me why I was rejected, but after acing 2/3 interviews, it felt strange to get rejected for such a small mistake.

Endless. You have to have several conversations with people who will not be on your team before they even begin to assess your skills. It takes them 2+ weeks to schedule meetings in between each round. Their calendars must be filled to the brim. Conversations with managers ominously referenced frequent conflict and lack of a strong culture. They strung me along for over 6 weeks, making me attend 7 different interviews with 10 individual employees. Processes like this leave me wondering how these people find time to actually do their work. After all this they emailed to tell me that they went with someone else. Then a week later they reposted the position. Really left me with the impression that this company is deeply dysfunctional, disorganized, doesn't respect people's time and doesn't know what they really want. All along the way they smiled in my face and insisted they cared so much about my mental health and well being, but they way they went about this process felt so dishonest, disrespectful, and lacking compassion. The interview itself was just basic technical questions, not that difficult. It shouldn't take a dozen conversations to figure out if you like someone. Especially when you claim your process is ~so objective~ and ~free of bias~ The definition of fake nice toxic positivity. I wouldn't ever apply here again.
