Colloquio
1st round: Initial call with a manager. Felt positive.
2nd round: In-person Interview with another manager. We discussed my past experience and my opinions on SaaS platform. Felt good.
3rd round: In-person tech interview. I solved one LC Medium problem and a system design problem related to DB design. Two interviewers were supportive and the conversation flowed smoothly. We had a long, engaging discussion that ended with laughter.
4th round: In-person behavioral interview. The interviewer offered no greeting or farewell and started by requesting a detailed account of my work history from my first job onward.
The interviewer maintained a poker face throughout the interview. The conversation was challenging, and the questions felt irrelevant to the position, as if he were seeking a co-founder rather than a candidate.
He would pause for extended periods without reason or reaction to my answers, giving me the impression he had taken a dislike to me. The interview took an hour but felt like a-century long. At the end, he simply said, "That's all for today's interview," without making eye contact, so I left.
He did share some opinions with me, but the overall experience was negative.
5th round: A brief online video conference where we discussed the feedback from the previous interviewer and my salary expectations.

Everyone I talked to in the process seemed very genuine and down to earth, so that part was good. The process was a bit long and specific to Java so I had to relearn that after several years. The coding question during the onsite was an algorithm I learned in undergrad, and had never touched again, so I don’t think it gave great signal. It was either you studied that specific algorithm or you didn’t, and you couldn’t brute-force it. I did not enjoy that. The system design problem was also strange. It started out coding a toy algorithm for a specific request assignment problem, and then about designing a real-world algorithm for the actual problem. I also don’t know what signal they were trying to get out of that. I was expecting a standard architecture design problem, not that curveball. I don’t know how to rate the interview difficulty. It was just strange. I came away expecting a rejection and received one about a week later.

“System design”: write code to efficiently assign requests to “workers”. Then create an algorithm that would do this in real life.

First round is the hiring manager round.
Second round is the technical coding round, asked to build a basic UI component.
Questions were vague but easy. They didn’t seem very interested, which makes me think if they were actually looking to hire anyone!
had a first call with recruiter and he says his feedback is super positive but haven't get any follow up after that.
was asked about my working experience, salary expectation and a couple of basic technical questions.
