How it went
The candidate applied online and proceeded directly to an engineering screen. Following this, they participated in two coding interviews, one of which involved navigating a large LLM codebase with limited clarification. The subsequent design interview was canceled, and the candidate received no explanation for the process ending abruptly. The experience was marked by inconsistency in interviewer approach and a lack of clear communication.
