Interview
One of the absolute worst interview experiences I’ve ever had. It consisted of an HR screening, a tech talk, and a coding challenge.
The HR round was perfectly fine—the recruiter was polite and friendly. We went through the standard stuff: past experience, current situation, salary expectations, and availability.
But the next two rounds were a total joke. There were two interviewers: one was condescendingly "chill," while the other was nervous-aggressive, constantly trying to assert dominance and poke holes in everything I said rather than trying to understand my skills and experience.

Question 1
The coding challenge was a laugh. The task: implement a server using an AI Agent framework that answers questions based on S3 files, with persistence. They gave me 30 minutes for the briefing, environment setup, project creation and implementation. The only way to finish that is if you already know the solution by heart. The job description said AI Agent knowledge was "preferred," but in reality, it was the only way to pass. At the end, the passive-aggressive interviewer remarked that for a senior developer, 30 minutes should have been "more than enough."

Interview
The process was structured into three specific rounds. It started with a technical open discussion regarding my background and the tech stack. The second stage was a practical, real-life implementation challenge rather than abstract theory. The final round was a culture fit interview to gauge team alignment.

Question 1
I had a positive experience over three interviews. We started with a general technical discussion, which felt very open. Next was a coding challenge based on a real-life implementation scenario, which I appreciated. The process wrapped up with a culture fit conversation to see how we would work together.
