Overall Interviewers were great, although it was an extremely lengthy process with no offer in the end. So It took a lot of time. Interview Rounds: 1st Round Recruiter asking about Salary expectations & Basic introduction to role (Not really an interview, more of a selling the role) 2nd Round Technical & Coding Task with an engineer (25 min coding, 35min interview) simple DSA Hackerrank quesiton . 3rd Round Technical & Coding Task with another engineer (35min Coding, 25 min Technical interview) 4th Round Technical interview with manager you will work with (1 hour Technical & Behavioural, Mostly behavioural) Even though I felt like I did really well, sadly they didn't accept my application, they said they would give feedback if I wanted, but they didn't provide feedback upon me emailing them. The people I interviewed with did a great job to make the interviews professional and comfortable. I do wish there was a way to take less of my time though, and the Interview reflected what would be done on the job a little more closely. The Behavioural interview was focused around Decision making and leadership. I think I didn't answer those questios in the way requested (What do you do, not would you theoretically do was stressed) and my brain defaults to answering theoretically. As I was trying to jump up In seniority and Had a lot of experience working in smaller companies, which wasn't taken into consideration. I think it makes sense to expect candidates to have great experience, but some things can be trained on the job, and People who worked at smaller companies or teams might have a great amount of experience & Technical and interpersonal skills, but that shouldn't put them out of a role just because they hadn't worked with larger teams. as that is easy when a developer works for smaller companies that developer is used to communicating with All sides of the business.

I went through four rounds of interviews, all of which went well. However, in the final round, they asked whether I had any lead experience. After that, communication stopped, and weeks later, I was informed they were looking for someone with prior lead experience. It was disappointing to invest nearly three weeks and clear all rounds, only to be rejected for a criterion that could have been clarified earlier.
