Candidate-reported interview process

It was a bad interview experience, the hiring manager didn't seem to care about me initially, but I still moved on to the take-home assessment. I think I did okay on it, but they skipped a code review interview and then rejected me.

First, I had a take-home assignment. Then, there was a technical interview where we discussed my approach and alternatives. After that, a system design interview happened, and finally, some personality interviews with people from different departments.

My interview experience at AllTrails was great. It started with a coding project to complete at home. After that, I had a virtual onsite interview where I answered questions about technical stuff and soft skills, some related to the specific role and some general. I liked how AllTrails matched the interview parts to the right knowledge areas, and I was happy they didn't ask any leetcode-style questions. Everyone I spoke with was really helpful, accommodating, and responded quickly.
