Candidate-reported interview process

They got in touch with me by phone, we had a 10-minute phone interview and scheduled the one with HR. We went through 4 tests, 2 interviews and they never got back to me. I was interviewed by the manager, HR, and an analyst.

It was pretty easy, the interview went super well. I asked a bunch of questions I had prepared from their website and the recruiter seemed to really like them. I actually met them at an engineering conference and they interviewed me the next day. Definitely know the company well.

The interview process was very straightforward and to the point, with no strange questions. The interviewers were friendly and happy to answer any questions about the role or what to expect.
