I applied as a mid-level Engineer and they assessed me for Senior Engineer interview. Already told HR I was applying for mid-level role. I was surprised there was no coding test. I spent zero hours impressing them because I had no time. My project demo was a rewrite project of a 2014 site I launched. The systems design questions were too general. There are no correct answers other than "it depends." I used the correct terms. We don't call a slave DB for Redis. It's an instance copy/replication. Received no feedback. I wanted to join this company long-term but apparently now I have to go back to zero and find a better one. No feedback isn't good. Their senior Engineer was OK. Asked better questions. Less general ones.

The interview process was thorough and well-structured, allowing me to showcase my skills and experience. The team was professional and made me feel comfortable throughout each stage. While the process was extensive, I appreciated the opportunity to connect with various stakeholders and gain a deeper understanding of the role and company culture. Overall, I believe the interview process was an accurate reflection of the company's commitment to finding the right fit for this position.
