I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at AppsFlyer in Sep 2021
Interview
Was interviewed by an engineer who asked me various overall questions about myself and they talked a bit about their specific job. It was not a very good impression as they seemed a bit negative in general, and had this attitude that the other departments and company leadership were mostly making trouble for them.
I was told I could do the question in any programming language I wished, so I chose one I liked. About half-way through I was told "oops, actually do it in this other language instead and start over", which was a bit stressful.
I was also asked to stop talking to myself while I was trying to solve the task. While solving it, I was also interrupted and told I could not use a built-in library but re-implement one myself, which I found was odd, as in my experience it is positive that the candidate knows of what kind of powers the language offers a developer.
