I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Pocket Gems
Interview
Online Assessment 2 hr 45 mins. 2 problem solving and 1 code review
1-hour phone interview with 2 engineers. I suppose the other engineer is present to just monitor the interview. A leetcode question with a follow-up. Came up with optimal solutions to both problems without any help.
Then got rejected without any feedback.
PS: I have read it in the comment section of many posts that Pocket Gems is trying to improve their process but I don't see the results. To be honest, the candidate deserves some feedback.

Interview
An average interview, brief intro to each other, then jump to tech questions: a binary search tree question. Solved the problem, but the interviews seemed not satisfied and keeps interrupting during the communication...
