+ 5 interviews in full loop.
3 coding and 2 design + behavioral.
The design interviews were standard distributed systems design. Open ended.
Finally they said they hired someone a week before the interview but they still wanted to complete it since it was scheduled. Got annoyed after the interviews.

Still one month later did not receive any information about result. Wrote a lot of "kind reminder" emails to different people, no result.
Some interviewers were welcomed and try to help you and gave hints. But their silent after onsite...

Question 1
All questions were unique ( never met in leetcode / hackerRank ) and level were easy-medium.
A recruiter was emailing me twice a year for two years about how interested he was in getting me in to interview, and if I was on the market yet. So when I finally decided it was time to start looking for my next role, I emailed him since I was interested in hearing more. He responded a month or so later after the roles I'd asked about had already been hired for, but pointed out that there were new ones out there now if I was interested. I said I was, and applied for several and followed up to let him know. Got absolutely nothing back at any point after that, even after following up again. What an absolute waste of my time. Also, their job app site is terrible. Why is there only a tiny, non-expandable text box to explain each role? Who designed this?
