The technical rounds (two coding, two system design) were excellent; structured, fair, and engaging. The interviewers in those rounds clearly valued technical depth and problem-solving. The final "behavioral round" with Sr Management was the opposite. The questions were vague, the conversation one-sided, and it felt less like an interview and more like being talked at. Dismissing coding as “easy” and repeatedly pushing personal philosophies came across as arrogance rather than leadership. That single round undid much of the positive impression created by the technical process. It started making sense why so many reviews mention concerns about management here.

The recruiter reached out set up an interview. First system design interviewer was good, it was very collaborative interview. Second graph DS question Third system design was super boring with no clarifying questions from the interviewer I supposed to have more interviews but the recruiter did not inform me about their cancellation until I reached out myself. Very unprofessional
