Round 1: Simple coding question (easy LC) and a small design based question. (1 hour) (went well)
Round 2: LLD round on cache design. (went well)
Round 3: Coding round solved two medium LC questions. One was a sliding window qn, other used data structures. (gave optimal working code)
Round 4: Hiring Manager round: discussed my projects, work, etc.
I had a competing offer from Amazon. They offered to proceed with an offer at first, gave verbal numbers, stalled for a week, and then gave some BS about their requirement changing. Imho, they found someone for cheaper and gave me some BS reason to ditch.
I just had to write this here. Very unprofessional. Bad experience.
