Candidate-reported interview process

The interview process is tough. You'll meet with a bunch of people from the team you'd be joining, plus some folks from other departments. People tend to stay here a long time because the hiring process is really thorough.

Had several rounds of interviews that felt repetitive and rushed. After the 5th interview, I heard nothing until I followed up, at which point I was informed they went with another candidate.

The interview process took several days and involved multiple rounds. Overall, it was a standard experience. They conducted an in-person interview, which was a good opportunity to see the office.
