Colloquio
About 6 rounds of 1-hr long interviews, with a "supposed" variety of subjects but pretty much every interviewer asked DS/A questions. The meetings that were supposedly about non-technical topics randomly had LC Medium/Hard questions sprinkled into them. Multiple interviews with folks who had 15+ YoE more than me, considering this was for a regular SWE role. All technical questions involved whiteboarding.
Some interviewers were friendly enough, but some were very much not. I came away from the interview thinking I had given decent answers to all of the coding questions, but got a follow-up call a day later saying they weren't going to go forward. Overall not terrible, but definitely not a positive experience.

Colloquio
Pretty chill. Three rounds of debugging, technical (leetcode), and behavioral, which was more like high-level with AI assistance. The values did not come up very much while going through the interview process.
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
Had us do an AI round about forms and matching things.
Debugging, technical, then behavioral. I had been given two language options for the debugging portion (Java or Python) during the phone interview then when I went to the onsite there seemed to be a miscommunication because the interview said I could use JS since I was applying as a frontend engineer. The debugging was pretty doable, the behavioral was odd but fine.

Colloquio
The interview process felt chaotic and poorly organized. What I was asked in the interview didn’t align with what HR told me to expect, and the interview started late. The lack of alignment between HR and the interviewer made it feel like the company overall may be chaotic. Afterward, HR’s follow-ups were generic and robotic, and the employer also mentioned layoffs, which added to the uncertainty. Overall, it didn’t feel worth the effort.
