Colloquio
Keep away from Discord! I am from FANNG company and interviewed at Meta, Google, Uber, etc. No company does so many 6 interview rounds for virtual onsite like them.
Do not believe HR's sugar words, they have so many rounds because they mostly don't want to hire people.
I also heard their WLB is very bad. 401k match is only $1000. Compensation is also low end in industry.
Applied -> Recruiter -> HM -> Tech Screen.
First three rounds went great, but the Tech Screen was a very different experience, and felt very out of time with modern software interviewing practices.

Colloquio
Seemed pretty organized. The "resources"section tells you that they will ask you to build a chat app using TCP clients. I did and practice or reading on it. During the interview, they didn't want you looking at ai responses when you Google. Googling for documentation is allowed.
Got the code working that satisfied all requirements. They asked some questions on how would you do this and that after as well. Got rejected soon after. Not really sure where my performance warranted a rejection but oh well.
Recruiter reached out after seeing my application. They already had asked me to install telnet on my system and about building a chat server using sockets. Did a background reading on that. Got the code working during the interview with some guidance from the interviewers. It should handle multiple clients.
Got rejected next day. No feedback, nothing.
Not sure what the interviewers want these days - a fully working Whatsapp ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ within 1 hr?
