Thank you for sharing your interview experience with us. We appreciate your feedback. Regarding the second coding assessment taking a week, we understand that it can be a lengthy process, but it is designed to give candidates enough time to showcase their abilities and problem-solving skills. Regarding the interview questions, it's great to hear that they were of medium difficulty. The question about alignment algorithms is a common one that allows us to understand a candidate's knowledge in bioinformatics and genomics, which is a key area of expertise for us. If you have any further feedback or would like to discuss your interview experience in more detail, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Talent@Instadeep.com.
