This was one of the most unusual interview experiences I had in terms of both the the structure and the conduct. Everything happened online due to COVID. My first interviewer showed up literally in pajamas lying on his bed. Though the questions including the the code challenge were well thought and the content of the interview was decent , that didn't reduce the awkwardness of the situation. Moreover, in the middle of interview I discovered that a wrong job title was given to my interviewer that was slightly different from my field. Two more interviews went well both containing a code challenge and technical questions.
Then things took a strange turn. I was invited for virtual on-site interview with 5 more people individually. Apparently there was no procedure in place to distinguish the on-site interviews from the normal one and everybody showed up with the similar or the same technical questions and a code challenge and due to poor coordination two of them were the exact same question. During the sixth interview I got bored and maybe a little bit frustrated facing the same question, so even though I finished the process but I lost my interest.
I find "eight" coding interviews, five of them in a span of two days excessive and unhelpful considering the fact that based on my personal experience the big names such as meta and google don't ask for more than 2~3 code challenges.
I met smart people but a poorly organized process.
