First round was successful, mostly technical questions. Recruiter was very optimistic, said that I was exceptionally good. Then I made the mistake that I took the next round easy. It was not. Well, it would not be that hard either, had I known the coding example beforehand. :D In about 30 mins I had to change existing code to run as parallel as it can. I had to config thread numbers, and then merge results of spawned calc threads. I didn't manage to get it right, becuase I was tired, stressed, and am not used to this kind of parallel coding. I was instructed to use Google freely but not AI. Well, Google already gives you AI summary first, so not sure where's the difference nowadays. They said I was a complete disappointment, and they need much higher competences for this job. On the next day, I spent an hour implementing the task in 3-4 different ways using java.concurrent classes for myself. It was fun, and I did learn from it. I don't think I was a bad candidate, I just need calm focus time to solve problems. If they can't provide it, then maybe I am better off without the job. (Or I need to practice this kind of interview tasks more..)

Lots of interview rounds, but they are as quickly as possible! An HR round, then a 30 min test with multiple choices, then an hour long coding session with screensharing two times, then 2 discussions with high executives. But the whole procedure can be done in one week!
