The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gusto (Istanbul) in Dec 2024
Interview
CodeSignal live coding assessment was provided. The interviewer was more of a junior compared to me. The template code was broken for the language of my preference. It got fixed and some extra time was provided, which was good. I provided a working code which uses string manipulation. Even the interviewer admitted that he solved a very similar real life problem by using string manipulation instead of REGEX at work.
Fun part is that I got rejected just because of not being able to provide a working REGEX in a timely manner. Choice of such code challenge is totally pointless. I was expecting a real engineering problem which would assess my conceptual thinking and problem-solving skills instead of memorizing something you almost never have to and can check online in a few seconds.

Interview
I was surprised by how cumbersome this interview was, several rounds, on top of take home project. It's really rigorous for a company that isn't FAANG level. Honestly a take home and a discussion of a take home is enough technical signal, instead its take home, coding, take home extension live and systems design, plus values and behavioral session. It's a huge time investment for pay and benefits that are not very competitive.

Interview
medium difficulty, or easier if you look up the q+a's before. one interviewer was late, and had the nerve to mark off points for time. so i did not get a job.
