Initially I had a coding test. It just had one program on hackerrank. The next round was phone interview. Again another programming question. The interviewer gave me a call half an hour late than the scheduled time and then tried to finish the interview sooner giving me 45 mins rather than an hour giving me less time to finish the question.

I applied online. I interviewed at Apollo.io (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
The interview process was quite convoluted. It involved multiple rounds that seemed disorganized and redundant. First, I had a screening call with HR, which was followed by a technical assessment. The technical questions focused on coding challenges and system design, but after completing that round, I was unexpectedly asked to repeat some similar tasks in the second technical round. Moreover, I was introduced to an entirely different interviewer who seemed unaware of my previous discussions. There was also a lengthy discussion on data crawling methods, especially LinkedIn crawling, which felt out of scope for the role I applied for, and raised some legal and ethical questions. The entire process took several weeks with long gaps between communications, which made it hard to follow and frustrating.
