Interview
Recruiter Screen followed with an option for a 1hr live coding or a take home challenge
Take home challenge was fine but requirements and guidelines should be more concrete. I have no idea what their version of "production-ready" code looks like and everyone is looking to give the bare minimum since you have 3 more coding rounds. Do you want tests? Do you want error handling? What should be the bare minimum when I'm just scaffolding a TODO App that should "only take 2-3 hours"?
You're not FAANG, stop putting candidates through 6 rounds to make a decision.

It was a long interview process: recruiter call, take home, phone screen (system design) and then the final rounds: take home review + coding challenge, another system design, and three behaviorals.
There seemed to be a big emphasis on ambiguity because a lot of questions they asked were very open ended so it was a bit hard to know where to focus. The first screening was a typical "how would you build x" system design, but the second system design question was a different format and I was unprepared for it.
Even though it was a very long process and I was very tired by the end of it, everyone seemed genuinely nice to work with.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you scale an existing system having performance problems
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Endpoint
Interview
Lengthy, but practical interview process. Recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn and was very professional throughout the entire process. Initial interview after the recruiter screen give the option of either a take home coding project or a live zoom interview. The remaining are over zoom and involve system design and soft skills. They are very flexible with breaking up the remaining interviews over a multiple days so it's not as arduous. Everyone was friendly and I would say that the interviews translate well to the work culture and everyone is really supportive.
