Colloquio
After submitting my resume I was contacted by a recruiter. The process consists of two rounds of interviews.
The first round is one technical interview with two engineers. It covers CS basics, a project discussion and a simple coding questions.
Four separate interviews make up the second round. Each one is a hour long. The order of interviews isn't fixed and you may spread them out over two days. The interviews are: Behavioural ("values"), system design, programming and "data".
Getting feedback in-between the interviews and booking the next round took a lot of time and emails.

Colloquio
Recruiter emailed me to schedule a call based on his availability with a calendly link. I’ve scheduled according to the recruiter’s availability. Waited for 30 mins for the call at the scheduled time but haven’t received a call. When I emailed the recruiter about the same, he said sorry and asked to reschedule. I did the same and reacheduled accordingly but this time the recruiter again didn’t show up nor responded to my email. Very worse behavior and unprofessional behavior from such a big company.
