Interview
Initial call with recruiter, then an interview loop with hiring manager and two stakeholders. Questions were fairly straightforward. Two weeks later, I emailed the recruiter to see if there was an update, but didn't receive a response. It's now been over a month. That's ghosting a candidate in my book.

Question 1
Why GoPuff? Which data tools do you use on a regularly basis?
Overall pretty standard process. The recruiter was responsive and did good prep for each stage. Most of the interviewers were prepared and knowledgeable. One interviewer was not prepared, didn't understand the question, nor the very basic algorithm I applied, and was standoffish and surly the whole time. I quickly implemented my solution after asking clarification questions. They told me multiple times that my algorithm shouldn't work despite demonstrating with numerous test cases that it did, explaining my implementation and giving the correct time and space complexity. They flat-out told me to make changes to my solution to what they thought would work and I humored them to show that their changes wouldn't pass the numerous test cases I had set up. This was barely a medium leetcode question as well. The interviewer said not to worry and that I did well at the end. I later got rejected in favor of someone who got slightly higher technical marks than me. The process overall was soured by this interviewer, who was going to be on my team. Even if I had been moved to an offer round, there were significant concerns that I would need to have addressed before I would consider joining this team. Again, most people I interacted with varied from pleasant to great, with this one notable exception. I don't want to dissuade others from applying as I think Gopuff could be a great place to work, just relaying my experience.
