Color Software Engineer interview questions

The process consisted of 2 coding interviews, 1 system design interview, and 1 behavioral interview with manager. The interviewers were all friendly and patient. We didn't even compile the code I wrote, we just talked through it.

A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn and I agreed to have a quick HR call with him, which I thought went well. Then he set up a phone screen with an engineer, where I was asked the MS Paint question that others have shared here. I don't think I did my best work—I had prepared a lot for a FAANG interview that happened 2 days prior so I had brushed up on algorithms and data structures, but my brain just wasn't working its best that day. For that reason, I thought that I probably wouldn't move further in the interview process. However, based on the first HR call it sounded like they were desperate to hire engineers so I thought maybe they'd give me a second chance. It's been over a month since that interview and I haven't heard anything from them—they just completely ghosted me. I reached back out to the recruiter and to the person who set up my interview and neither of them have replied. It's very frustrating since they were the ones that reached out to me. I wish that they would have had the decency to just tell me no—based on my interview performance I would have understood. Leaving me hanging is much worse and makes them seem unprofessional and inconsiderate of my time.
