Question 1
First one was hacker rank test, 3 simple questions then one normal round where they review your code.
The interview process was quite long but well-structured and straightforward. It included multiple stages such as an introduction, technical rounds, system design, behavioral discussions, and an in-person interview. All the interviewers were knowledgeable, professional, and clear in their expectations, making the overall experience positive and informative.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Skillz (Las Vegas, NV) in Dec 2024
Interview
I was reached out to on LinkedIn by one of the Senior Technical Recruiters. After an initial phone call, the recruiter said he liked my profile and I would be a great fit for the company. He asked me to apply to their job post, and I did. He said he would soon share the coding interview date.
But after that, the recruiter simply ghosted me. I messaged him multiple times but got no reply. After a few days, I received a generic email that they won't be moving forward with my application.
While I understand that a company has the right to decide who they choose and who they don't, but I'd expect the recruiter who reached out to me to convince me to apply to their job will at least let me know the update on my application or their decision, and not ignore my message. It shows poor ethics. And I'm honestly glad that I didn't move further in such a company where they don't value people's time and effort.
The interview process consisted of 4 to 5 rounds, each uniquely designed with no repetitive questions. The questions were practical, grounded in real-world scenarios, and closely aligned with my own work experience. The entire experience was smooth and enjoyable, with a relaxed pace that made it stress-free and comfortable.
