I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Checkout.com (Londen, Engeland) in Apr 2022
Interview
Process was unorganized and interviewers were inflexible.
Phone screening
Hackerrank (MCQs, LC, SQL), easy
Manager interview
Technical interview with two senior engineers
HR interview
Interviewers were not willing to discuss the role or deviate from asking their questions ("save your questions till the end") and seemed to have particular correct answer in mind for the system design question but also did not clarify requirements when asked which would guide to such a system.
Feedback took longer than needed with multiple excuses.
Offered salary "at the top of the range" (with 10% bonus, 0 stock) which was below the minimum salary I gave during phone screening. They did not match other offers.

Interview
I am due to have my first technical interview after an initial screening with one of their recruiters. The initial call was more about him telling me about checkout.com and me just giving a high level overview of my experience

Interview
The interviewer ghosted me after the initial interview was set up. Then, a new interview was scheduled. I had an interview with a manager in London, UK.
The interviewer asked some general programming questions, and I answered with relatively reasonable answers. Although the process went smoothly, I had no idea that they had no interest in continuing the hiring process.
Considering the initial interview was set up without any notice, I was ghosted by the initial manager for about 20 minutes, so this one is weird.
