One of worst interviews I had. They neglected me only based on coding interview. No discussion, no Q&A, no system design interview, no "soft" questions, just plain coding interview which is far from accurate and fair evaluation of candidate.

The coding task is about reading numbers from a CSV file, computing a rolling window statistics (average and maximum) over those numbers, and printing current statistics at every time step. It should be done in O(nlogn) time. To do it data structures like (in Java) TreeMap or PriorityQueue come handy. Unfortunately there's little time to do it (slightly more than an hour). Although I had idea how to do it, I stressed out and I failed to meet the O(nlogn) time in all cases, and only based on it I was rejected.

1 Hour Technical Screening followed by an on-site interview consisting of multiple interviews over the course of an afternoon. These interviews were a mixture of technical coding tests, architecture, and behavioral interviews.

I can't discuss details but they were pretty standard leetcode/hackerrank style questions, a long coding challenge, and coding questions that were specific to the job.

Recruiter reached out based on my online profile and setup a technical phone screen. They obviously know what my background is and the skillset I bring to the table.
Phone screen setup relatively quickly and the interviewers seemed friendly and nice to talk to. 3 coding interview Qs of increasing difficulty level. Wrote code on coderpad for all 3 in the alloted time, walked through testcases and interviewers agreed on the solution and correctness.
2 days later get a cold rejection e-mail indicating my background does not fit the requirement.
Duh !! What a waste of time and effort...
