The interview was straightforward, friendly. There were 3 interviews. I felt appreciated as a journalist but I did not get the job. After the third interview, I realized I would not be offered the role.

They were very nice and calming throughout the process, and I appreciate that the give you focus time before the technical interviews. I don't think the system design questions are fair, though. They don't give you enough time to go into detail by giving you 2 scenarios with a ton of requirements.

I Applied through a referral 1) 30 Mins call with recruiter and she explained all the interview steps 2) Hiring manager call - she actually have a set of questions and she asked those questions and I have noticed she didn't concentrate while I was speaking. Received email after that saying they are not moving forward. They have one of the worst interview process I have ever seen This is a very bad experience I have encountered in my carrier.
