I was asked to take my shirt off during the design portion. I’m still not sure why they wanted this but I didn’t get an offer in the end

May be they found a better design problem to solve under your shirt and they wanted to uncover it.

Why don't you ask your recruiter?

I got in at 3 yoe. Interview is pretty standard, and your recruiter will give plenty of details. We do check references, even ones you don’t list.

How often the candidates fail at the reference check stage?

how would you check references that you don’t list

I had 3 YOE, I did a technical screen, got to the final round and then got references. I didn’t get it. Then I got the recruiter on the phone because I assumed a reference gave me a bad review but the recruiter told me that the committee decided that my code in the technical screen wasn’t clean enough. Massive waste of my time. This was during all the layoffs and I know someone who had a similar experience.

That’s actually valuable feedback though. If you think it’s true, read Clean Code by Robert C. Martin.

It was algorithms question though
