I was given a take-home assignment with a completion time of 24 hrs. It was about building a file storage vault. AI tools were allowed, but they did not provide any. I had to buy my own.
Expectation was also there to record a video on how I used AI tools to develop the task.
They rejected me without giving any feedback. Very bad experience

Wasted my time interviewing here; the AI coding round is stupid.
The interviewer was constantly nudging me to keep speaking. It was so hard to understand how they want me to use an AI agent to code that relatively easy problem. I was constantly fighting with the auto-complete of cursor and couldn't focus on the problem. I would rather have done it without the AI constantly trying to erase my implementation.
Absolute waste of time and my confidence. Nothing but template rejection at the end.

The interview process is LONG. 9 rounds of interviews, and they are very good at making you feel confident until the very end. If one person on the interview committee doesn’t like you, you will not get the role. Even if you make a great impression on 8/9, one hiccup and you’re out. Some interviewers are very prideful, and if you don’t say exactly what they are thinking, they will not proceed.
