Interview
The recruiter was responsive, but interview scheduling took quite long. The whole process took almost 2 months and some of the chats can took weeks for them to schedule. The offer was not competitive at all (which was kinda expected). One red flag was that the HM doesn't seem to care much about the candidate and you don't feel they actually want you even after you got the offer. I wouldn't suggest going through their process unless you really really want to work there.

First call with a recruiter was very short. The recruiter was first 5 min late and then it was over after 10 min. They only hardly asked any questions and then said thank you, no chance to elaborate.
