Interview
What a disaster and waste of time. I applied online, and when I was immediately contacted for a Zoom screen, things seemed promising. Inital phone screen was kind of...unofficial/casual, done by an existing developer with a heavy accent.
After the initial screen I got an email telling me that I had advanced to the coding challenge stage. This is where things got weird. I was told that I would have an hour long zoom session to do a programming challenge as the interviewer watched. Even though I was to wait to write the code until the interview, I was given the details of the programming challenge ahead of time, for my own benefit I suppose.
So being the good interviewee I was, I decided to do the code challenge ahead of time and really be prepared to redo it at the time of interview. The assignment took about 4-6 hours, which lead me to believe that they had never actually given this assignment before, since I was suppose to be able to complete in an hour.
A few days before the interview I emailed the Noom recruiter asking a clarifying question, to which there was no response.
On the day and time of my interview, I waited for about 10 minutes before my interviewer finally joined late. He told me immediately that they had sent me the wrong coding assignment, and that I could just forget about it. Instead, he paired programmed with me for about 45 minutes on something completely different. Despite all the confusion up to this point, I actually felt pretty confident in how I performed.
From there I was ghosted all together, and it doesn't appear that they have hired anyone for the position.

I applied for the Software Developer position and was contacted by the recruiter for an initial discussion. The interview process consisted of an HR screening followed by a technical interview with the hiring manager and development team. The interview focused on my experience with software development, problem-solving skills, project experience, and technical knowledge. The atmosphere was professional and friendly, and I was given the opportunity to ask questions about the role and company. The entire process took approximately two weeks from the first contact to the final outcome.

Interview
Reached the final on-site stage, which included a technical interview and a planned meeting with the CTO.
The recruiting process up to that point was positive—the recruiter was responsive and professional, and both engineers I met during earlier rounds were approachable and respectful.
However, the on-site experience was inconsistent with expectations. The technical interview was intended to be conducted with an engineer, followed by a separate discussion with the CTO. Instead, the CTO joined midway through the technical session, appeared disengaged, and did not participate in the initial introduction. During the exercise, I made a minor syntax error; although the overall approach and solution were optimal, I was advised to use AI tools to explore alternatives.
When I referenced the planned follow-up conversation, I was informed that there would be no separate meeting, and the interview was concluded abruptly with general advice to continue practicing.
Overall, the experience felt disjointed and somewhat unprofessional, particularly given the lack of structure and deviation from the communicated interview process.

Interview
Meeting with HR, positive experience. Recruiter was nice and gave good advice/information. 2 technical interviews after, definitely have good proficiency in OOP and DSA. I don't know what else to say for the 30 word minimum, didn't receive an offer.

Question 1
General behavioral questions, talk about yourself and past experiences. Recruiter goes through your resume and asks about different projects that you've been a part of.
