The interview was quite driven , and directed at the exact needs for the role. Lots of question to trip up on. It was Technology specific and knowledge in latest technologies is expected for work in the technical teams. Recommendations helped along the way too. There were Multiple interviews conducted and i met the members of the team.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Paramount in Feb 2023
Interview
First round was with one of the worst recruiters I've had to deal with in a long time. Clearly didn't read my resume, kept interrupting me with questions I already answered minutes ago during the call, and gave me the wrong information a few times. Second round was with the engineering manager who seemed like a nice guy. I had some interesting conversations with him about the tech and projects. He asked me generic Java language questions (OOP), a few leetcode type questions, and then had me ask questions of my own. If it wasn't for the recruiter I would have rated the interview experience as positive.

I had an technical interview with them for three hours, they didn’t provide me with a proper feedback, they don’t even lift the phone after the interview. This is totally unprofessional .
