[No Feedback]

5 rounds. let me list them: 1) recruiter screen which was fine 2) hiring manager who barely looked up from her laptop 3) coding round on a leetcode medium i had actually solved before lol 4) system design with two staff engineers one of whom said 'interesting' twelve times 5) the 'team match' final which was THREE different managers asking essentially the same question in 90 minute blocks. 4 hours. no breaks. they said theyd get back in a week. got back in 12 days with 'we went with an internal candidate'. internal candidate that they presumably had the whole time??? recruiter has not replied to my followup in two weeks. its been a month. im fine. im totally fine.

It's not too bad. Overall experience was not bad I did not get any feedback though I had to hunt it down by different channels. The feedback that I got that was hidden from me was that I performed fairly well on the actual challenges and I somehow had gaps in my I had to tell about my success where I used some in-depth knowledge to help the company or speed things up. So somehow that story was not impressive even though it resulted literally in a massive surge of sign ups and interactions or anything. Anyways, the person interviewing me was a person from my country where I'm from and I could immediately feel there was bias and I wish they never paired us up because I would always feel it either is going to be a favourable or very negative one. I was a little bias away from the interview. Somehow this was the tipping point. Allegedly I'm good at developing things and I'm good at some other things but I'm not good at telling my own story. So that's the case.
