Interview process is standard like most of the software development interviews:
- Initial phone interview with HR
- Coding interview (similar to difficult LeetCode questions)
- Tech interview with some behavioural questions

HR screening, followed by a programming task to be solved at home and 2 technical interviews. The process was extremely slow and coordinated from overseas, causing even more delay in the system. After the last round, they made me wait weeks for an answer. By the time they replied with a decline, I already accepted an offer elsewhere. The technical part was interesting, but the process itself was extremely painful.

Matched on Ripple. Applied. Given an extremely lengthy automatic HR Online Assessment that took a substantial amount of time, just to get rejected weeks later with 0 follow-up. I passed these HR OA's for every company I've applied to, so this must be auto. The next steps would be a technical screen. To be honest it is a complete disrespect of the interviewers time.
