Interview
I applied online and then, got an phone interview follow up. The HR people is nice enough, but he said they are in a hurry to hire new people. And that's the beginning of April. I was like sure, it makes sense, and what's funny is, the calendar invite from the interviewer is only available in May. So I chose May 1st the earliest available spot, but that's still 3 weeks from now. I felt very unsecured. And today, I got an email saying that, ya, we are cancelling your interview, as we hired someone already. Cool. Time wasted.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ocient (Austin, TX) in Dec 2024
Interview
First online assessment for 1.5 hours with a huge problem. It is challenging to complete all the cases in the given time. Not technically difficult but it is just a lot of works. After that, two rounds of coding interview. Not super difficult. Just work with the interviewer to solve the problem step by step. After that, interview with hiring manager which is mostly talk. Next sound is system design review which hasn't happened yet.
