I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Navan (Tel Aviv) in Jul 2021
Interview
I had 3 rounds. The first round was a conversation with a manager from the states. He was very polite and asked me many questions about my work methodologies, failures I'd had (It was an hour long). Later on I had a coding interview with an engineer from the states. He was also very communicative and polite. The 3rd stage was at the Israeli site in Tel Aviv and I had a very bad experience. I was told by the HR that the interview will take place 45 minutes * 2 managers separately. When I came to the site, 3 people were interviewing me at the same time (one of them was observing me- they said he was studying how to interview people). I felt like a monkey in the zoo. They weren't listening to me when I spoke, used cell phones all the time, worked during the meeting. They gave me an LRU cache questions to solve on hacker rank and I couldn't concentrate during the interview at all. One of the interviewers told me to run the code and there was an issue with the compilation, I asked him to google it and he didn't respond, he was trying to make it run himself and couldn't compile it. The HR called me the next day and told me "It wasn't strong enough". I read that they'd fired hundreds of workers in a zoom call (So what could I expect?) . They also have many bad reviews, probably for a good reason.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
-Implement a LRU cache in java hacker rank.
-You have tuples of a certain size (I was given the size 2), find all sums possibilities between them.
-What happens when you do MAX_INTEGER + MAX_INTEGER?
-Tell me about a failure you had.
-How do you monitor the cloud?
The camera and the microphone was on and it was screen recording. Made me really nervous and I didn't do well. I was not sure on what was acceptable to search online.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Navan
Interview
- went for the technical round, the interviewer was not at all interested to take. While working on the coding question, the interviewer was not even answering or even listening to my response or request in terms of the coding challenge. I may or may not be the better candidate, that doesn't justify any waste of time. Even if they extended an offer, I would have chosen some other place even with a lesser package. This is an utter disgrace.

Question 1
About my work experience and the normal coding question, which even the interviewer had no idea about all the possible solutions.
