damn this sucks, sorry man. clearing the whole thing and still getting nothing feels so much worse than an early no

the prompt playground round sounds brutal ngl, feels like there's no clean way to know what they actually wanted out of that s3 discussion

a full loop rejection with nothing to go on is rough. that's a lot of hours for zero real feedback

at least you've got a solid writeup here for other people prepping even if the outcome sucked for you

I had this exact same situation happen to me, I feel your pain. I went through all rounds of interviews-- CodeSignal, phone screen, HM, onsite. I was even asked for references after being told that "team enjoyed meeting" me. Rejected 1-2 days after reference checks completed. No idea what went wrong and recruiting refused to provide any feedback.

did they say anything about reapplying later or is it just a hard no for now

why my first round is a System Design instead of Coding? Does anyone experience the same?
