Technical coding interview is too basic, requires processing a tabular dataset which doesn't fully evaluate the candidate's ability in problem solving or programming. Second interview is system design. Interviewer was looking for a deep knowledge in specific AWS tools. The job description doesn't specify these tools as a requirement. The people team need to learn how to write more specific job descriptions to avoid wasting the interviewers and interviewees time.

Initially there was a screening call with the HR, paired programming round with a couple of their engineers. The paired programming was more of code debugging and building a service. The interview started off a little slow I was a little intimidated to have two engineers in the call. But once I got into the Rythm things were alright.
