Zoom Communications Software Developer interview questions

Nice interview process with many interesting stages. Included testing of language skills as this was a support role across geographies. Went through to the final round only to be told that the position was no longer being hired for.

Had an online assessment on CodeSignal with an option to take the test unproctored (?). Did they expect me to use AI or didnt? It wasnt clear but I did not use AI knowing that despite it being unproctored, they still track every key stroke. Extremely lengthy questions. What used to be easy in the previous years (questions 1,2 ) and medium (question 3,4) are all now medium to hard. Not sure if codesignal adjusted their difficulty or Zoom did. Some of them expect highly optimized solutions even - constantly running into TLE. The questions themselves were lengthy - each 20-30 lines with nuances all over - so you can quickly even skim thru the question. I had a terrible 75 minutes with my confidence completely assaulted. I didnt even bother to find solutions to these problems after the test (which I normally do when I fail a technical interview) because I felt their expectations from the candidate are sky high just because software engineers are now suddenly dispensable commodity like high quality toilet paper.
