Applied through internal referral. I really liked the first round. The interviewer was so pleasant and made the interview experience really pleasant. She even connected on LinkedIn to answer any questions. Feedback to the recruiter: She was very responsive to the phone calls. But she wasn’t proactive to share the results. Every time I had to call her to get the update and she explicitly mentioned that she would be busy with meetings so she asked me to call and get the update as if we are not professionals and not having any other meetings in our office 😀 Then came the shocker: this is a coding round. The interviewer had a bossy attitude. He turned off his video while asking me to keep the video on as if I would copy paste the code from google. He asked me to give introductions but he didn’t give his intro. So I stopped him to give introduction before proceeding. I have the solution within 5 mins and wrote the code as well. I told him I don’t know the syntax and wanted to search google. But he didn’t let me do that. Suddenly he said what if we change the input format from string to int. I got totally frustrated by then with this guy. He wasn’t talking or involving in the discussion as well during the interview which made it even more cumbersome especially with the video call and his video being turned off. I shared the feedback to the recruiter right after the interview. Finally I got the result as 50-50 after several phone calls and she said she wanted to discuss with the hiring manager to see how to proceed further. Then I told them I also didn’t like the interview so please don’t proceed further with my profile.

Glider.AI screening with poorly set up questions that waste your time on figuring out how to run the tests. After 2 coding questions there were 7 coding "fill in the blank" questions and finally 5 multiple choice.
