Very poor experience overall. I applied online with a referral, got the CodeSignal and completed it. Few weeks later, recruiter emailed to schedule final round interview.
Now, I had told the recruiter multiple times that I had a pending offer by a deadline and to have the interview done by then. Recruiter ghosted me and then later said sorry, we have to reschedule for a new date. So I did, even when I asked for a bit earlier since the deadline is incoming. Very disorganized communication.
As for the interview itself, first one was a case? interview which is very abnormal and not done anywhere else really. Second interview was behavioral, but the interviewer was literally reading off a paper and asked the most generic questions - it wasn't really even a conversation. Third interview was pretty hard technical interview question which I couldn't finish completely.
They didn't even get back to me by my deadline, so I just accepted the other offer. C1 rejected me anyway a full week later, not that I was going to accept them anyway.
I really hope you are not this unprofessional and disorganized in your day-to-day with your employees.

Question 1
Typical Behavioral - Describe a time when you... (STAR)
4 rounds of interview including coding , design , case study, behavioral after clearing the code signal assesment. Coding was medium hard of 2 questions each. case study and system design was difficult.
This took a bit longer than expected, stretching over several weeks. The technical rounds were intense, featuring an LRU cache implementation and a problem on detecting duplicate transactions within a 60-second window. I was nervous at first, but it clicked for me when I realized I had practiced a similar approach on PracHub just days before. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive an offer in the end, but the experience was a solid learning opportunity. The behavioral questions felt straightforward, so I wish I had made a stronger impression in the technical segments.
