The hiring process is a redundant waste of time. Completing an architecture take-home task only to repeat the exact same topic in a System Design interview shows a complete lack of internal coordination and zero respect for a candidate's effort. The technical interview was a total disaster. The interviewer arrived late, was visibly distracted, and lacked the basic skills to lead the session. What was supposed to be a pair programming exercise turned into a solo task because he couldn't provide any clear requirements. When I questioned the lack of direction, he claimed it was normal and told me I was doing well. I was rejected anyway. This was a clear case of gaslighting. The interviewer was either utterly incompetent or simply too lazy to care. He couldn't even answer basic questions about the company's own hiring stages. If this is the level of leadership and preparation they offer to senior candidates, it is a massive red flag. Do not waste your time here.
