Interview process

Interviewers put you under pressure. You have to quickly read provided code and try to make changes under some restrictions (only allowed to change certain components).

    Phone screen

    1. Q1. Modify existing codebase to add batch support for order queries

Tips from the candidate

Resist the urge to jump into coding. Ask questions. Even if the interviewer mentioned you can't change something, they can make mistakes.

Company culture

Interviewers seemed a bit rude.

One interviewer also seemed uninterested in being there.
