The first round of my interview with the HR went well, and that person was able to inform me of many exciting facts about CognitiveScale. I felt like a potential match.
The second round with a tech lead was a little bit unexpected. For some reasons, he tried to make me talk about software design situations I had never experienced before as a college student. I did not advertise anything related on my resume, or in my previous round interview. Although I attempted to cue him several times that I was not an expert in these industry-oriented problems but happy to learn more, he kept digging into the same problem deeper and deeper, until I had no idea how to respond.
Overall they are nice people, and I'm sure they will figure out a better interviewing schema for different types of candidates that better align with their position requirements.
