I had a longer, kind of drawn-out experience—five interviews across roughly 2.5 months—and the part that stuck with me most wasn’t the difficulty of the questions so much as how little communication I got.

I then had a team-leader style behavioral and cultural-fit interview. After that came another system design round where I also had to talk through a past project and answer more detailed questions in sections. There was also a follow-up interview with an engineer, which extended things further.

What surprised me was how many steps
