Candidate-reported interview process

I interviewed in August and got the offer end of September. The recruiter was very responsive during the stages and kept me in on the loop. I had 4 interview stages in total.

The process started with a recruiter screen, followed by an interview with the hiring manager. Then there was a technical assessment, which was a take-home assignment, no live coding involved. The hiring manager and a behavioral interview were pretty similar, with the behavioral interview being conducted by another developer.

It was one 45 minute interview. They asked behavioral questions and general technical questions. They talked a lot about past experiences on your resume and personal projects you worked on.
