Topics Asked: Technical questions, Coding problems

Experience:

The candidate had what they believed was an excellent interview for a UI position at Cohesity. They answered all technical questions correctly and solved two coding problems with all test cases passing, which was confirmed by the interviewer. The conversation flow was positive, leaving the candidate feeling confident about the opportunity.

However, the follow-up process was confusing. After sending a polite follow-up on Day 2 and another on Day 7, the candidate received a response within 10 minutes of the second follow-up (sent at 9 PM).

The confusing aspects included no formal rejection email or feedback, the position remaining open and actively being posted, and the suspicious timing of the rejection after a 9 PM follow-up. The candidate felt there was a disconnect between their strong performance and the outcome.
