Position was for kubernetes observability product as a golang backend developer
Scheduled 4 Rounds
Hiring Manager round - 1 Hr - Technical questions in a conversation style
Questions on scripting, java, golang. Kubernetes architecture, How will you debug a pod in CrashLoopBackOff etc
The Hiring Manager felt like a micro-manager with some superiority complex and he constantly corrected you even if what you said was correct . Didn't like the HM.

2 Easy DSA questions - very simple, interviewer was ok, Expectation was to code in golang.
Question - Given an arr, maximise the value of ab-cd
Follow up- Do it in one loop, what if negative elements are allowed

Conversation on past projects and my expertise, interviewer was ok, but it just seemed like a waste of time since we did not go into depth anywhere

Reached out to ex employees as i saw rating go down on glassdoor and ex employees leaving within 1 year. Turns out , after recent management changes, the company culture has become really bad and everyone, even people in the org currently advised me against joining the org.
