The process was long and repetitive, involving multiple rounds (coding, SQL, system design, and several panel discussions). While the recruiter communication was timely and professional, the overall structure felt poorly coordinated.
Several interviewers were swapped last-minute, and in most sessions (except one or two), interviewers appeared disinterested or disengaged even before the call began — as if they had already decided the outcome. Many rounds covered the same technical questions repeatedly, rather than exploring depth or role-specific capabilities.
By the end, it felt less like an evaluation loop and more like a box-checking exercise, with minimal enthusiasm or ownership from the interview panel.
