First I had a brief introduction on my background with HR which was all done through several emails. Next, I did a technical phone interview where I solved a problem. My interviewer did not seem very interested when I was working on the problem; he sounded really bored and impatient. I already had the feeling I wasn't going to make it to the next round just based on his behavior and rushing to end the interview with me. A couple of days later I got an email from HR stating that I wasn't moving forward. I thanked HR and asked for some feedback regarding areas on improvement, but I never heard back.

Overall, the process took a little over two weeks, which felt a bit longer than I anticipated. After a quick screening, I went through two technical rounds focusing on coding and DSA concepts. One of the questions was a classic palindrome check; mid-way through, I realized it was something I had practiced on PracHub just days earlier. The final step was a casual behavioral interview. I was relieved to get an offer shortly after, which I happily accepted.
