Candidate-reported interview process

It was a great experience! Started with a brief intro call. Then there was an in-person coding interview. The onsite involved a series of interviews: a technical screen, system design, meeting the team, meeting engineers, and meeting product people. It wrapped up with a session with the recruiter.

Got an email about the interview process, which included a code interview. Had a chat with the manager, but he gave me a bad vibe about the team. He asked me personal stuff not related to the job, which felt like micromanagement.

First, there was a coding challenge to filter folks out, then a one on one technical interview over Zoom. It was a pretty chill interview, the person helping me actually guided me. Everyone at the company was really nice and helpful, they even sent a PDF about the interview process and some tips.
