Interview
The interview process is long and demanding.
You will be expected to spend 15+ hours of non-paid time on projects and tasks along with 2.5+ hours in interviews.
The interviewers do not seem interested in your work or what you do - just reading from a script and checking off boxes.
Passed the Language communication and codility test.
The third step is on Live Coding Interview, this sucked so bad because interviewer was obviously so bored and not in the mood to do the interview. He told me He would wai for me to be clear with the requirements before He will start the timer (seems He was reading from a script).
I still don't get the instructions of the problem but He didn't care and started the timer anyway. Only helped to clarify instructions at the nearly the 7 minute mark (note we only have 15 minutes).
He went ahead to go read the rest of his script that the application is over.Very unprofessinal and rehearsed.

Interview
A bluejeans screening interview.
The interviewer was incompetent, dishonest, very unprofessional, tried to sell some irrelevant apps. The worst experience for a long time and I am conducting my business internationally!
