Interviewed for several teams as a contractor. It was different than any other interviews I've ever had in tech. Instead of the typical coding problems and system design questions, the interview only consisted of asking very specific questions about various web technologies that the role relied on. In my opinion, this interview style is absolutely terrible. Good engineers don't memorize arbitrary interview trick questions. They solve problems through implementing solutions. Random details matter far less than understanding how to approach a problem and find an efficient and optimal solution. Also, their salary range was very low relative to other companies I was interviewing with. I completed final rounds but then I accepted an offer with another company. When I informed them of the offer I received, they just never responded to me. Really weird interview process overall. I wouldn't have accepted an offer with them after my experience anyways, even though they have a strong brand name.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked me about various web technologies that they were using for full-stack development and devops (JS frameworks, cloud stuff, etc). Very specific which I thought was unnecessary. Look up trick questions and details of various technologies to prepare (even though this is a waste of time on the job)
Applied online, received email for interview planning, had the interview
Basic discussion about work and technical questions.
No update after that.
No replies by recruiter or anyone after multiple attempts.
Imagine a company with image of best workplace behaves like this.

Interview
The interview process focused on theoretical questions related to Python, AWS, and some of the tools metioned in the job description. The second part of the interview was a 30-minute coding challenge.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NIKE (Bengaluru) in Oct 2023
Interview
I interviewed for Senior Software Engineer position end of 2023 at Nike. After 4 rounds of interview which spanned for over 20 days, the HR decided to ghost me. For the entire course of the interview, the feedback was very very positive to the extent where I knew I got through a round by the end the session itself. After all the rounds ended, the HR team simply said they were waiting for feedback from the Development Director (Which was already positive and hence the next HR round). After a full week of follow up, I finally got ghosted by the HR with no feedback or result on the position. This is not at all something I expected from a company that has a good brand reputation.
