The first stage is a 30 min Zoom interview with the hiring engineer, who was not nice. Then, I received a very time-consuming home assignment. I put a lot of effort into it, and then I received a "no-replay" email that I didn't pass. When they give you a home assignment, the least they can do is call you or write you a mail, rather than a no replay email.

Interview
I applied to their role on their website and a recruiter reached out to me to schedule interviews with the hiring manager and other members of the team. The interview process was drastically shortened for me because the hiring team wanted to fill the position very quickly, So the entire interview loop lasted only a week and a half.
the interviews consisted of a behavioral with the hiring manager and a hackerrank technical with a engineering team member.
