solid, very nice interviewers, technical s were interesting and collaborative. Overall less leetcody than general and felt more like a conversation/ pair programming. Recruiters were very slow though. Most non coding interviews were very fluffy i.e just talk through your resume/ a project you worked on. There was an emphasis on how you like to work, i.e what youre looking for in both a team and work in general.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cloudflare
Interview
The process included about 8 interviews with different people but mostly with the team member. The technical questions were fair, not very hard. And the also the interviewers were polite and professional.
However, the whole process tool about 10 hours, and it was scheduled in a week or two, so you need to allocate a huge amount of time. This was a big issue specially, if you need to plan it during the working hours.
Once all the interviews finished, there was no update for a week, and then finally a cold email saying No! without any feedback or explanation.
It's totally fine to say "No" in an interview process, but given 8 rounds of interviews and many hours, first the silence period and second, not providing any feedback and explanation was a negative experience.
