Entrevista
Relatively standard stuff: Recruiter screen, tech screen, tech deep dive, conversation with HM
The recruiter was exceedingly hyper and interrupted me numerous times. They asked about my experience with specific tech. I answered honestly. They parroted back the wrong answer and an even more incorrect summary. I clarified _twice_. Their summary didn't change an iota.
Received a rejection email the next day without clarification.
Adding insult to injury, they then sent a text message at 6 AM the following morning seeking feedback regarding their recruiting process.

Pros:
1. Recruitment team was good and cooperative.
2. Interviewers were knowledgeable and asked decent questions.
3. Company seems to be good.
Cons:
1. Expectation from Interview process was not clear.
For 2 whiteboarding sessions, was asked to write a code either on notepad or IDE of choice and share screen.
Got rejected after providing a working code for both sessions with multiple testcases.
Was not clear if objective of the interview was algorithm focus or solution driven or to analyze how one can handle abstract problems?
2. All coding focused interviews. No system design/architecture/algorithms focused assessments for senior engineers felt odd.
