Interview
I submitted my application online.
They kickstarted with an online Codility test, which I scored 100 percent. Then I was contacted by a recruiter briefing on the interview process.
The interviews took around two weeks to complete, covering four rounds.
Tech Screening - A simple round asking for experience and basically asked you to explain your approach for Codility questions. The interview was nice and provided feedback all along.
Tech Round 1 - Some technical questions, involving basic algorithm theories and also involved a pair programming task for which I could not come up with a solution.
Tech Round 2 - More high-level technical questions and then I was given a system design question for generating vendor updates (like a newsfeed). The interviewer was engaging and the feedback was great as well.
Manager round - A simple chit-chat with an engineering manager there, some behavioral questions. Since I had an ongoing discussion for an offer with a different company, I asked to expedite the process.
A few days later, I received an automated rejection letter. Overall the experience was really great and got to have a good feel of technical interviews. The coordinator was also very timely and engaging.

Interview
The interviewer and TAs that I met are extremely professional, patient and approachable. TAs are always prompt to update me about the interview process and also gave me guidance on what I should prepare for the interview. Interviewer is very knowledgable, down-to-earth and willing to share constructive feedback for me to improve.
Overall, this is one of the best companies I have interviewed at even though I did not pass the live coding interview. Appreciate the help and guidance from foodpanda team!
