I applied through LinkedIn because the company had a lot of buzz and sounded like a place I’d genuinely want to work. The recruiter got back to me and scheduled a phone interview. The day of the call, though, I never got it—no call came through.

I followed up after the fact asking if my application was canceled, and I never received a reply. The whole experience felt unprofessional and disrespectful, especially since I had taken time to be ready for the conversation.

My interview process started normally: a recruiter call, then a one-hour Coderpad session, followed by an on-site interview. After the on-site, I had two back-to-back video interviews, each for about thirty minutes.

The on-site itself was long—around 4 hours and 45 minutes—with sections split into shorter and longer chunks. I applied as a general backend engineer, but only during the on-site did I learn they were actually evaluating me for a growth engineer role focused on advertising metrics. That shift caught me off guard, and I remember wishing I’d been told earlier since it changed the direction of what I needed to be prepared for.
