Candidate-reported interview process
Super chill and straightforward process. They laid out the steps clearly. The background check took a bit, but it all moved along quickly. I was pleased with how it turned out.
It was a pretty simple process. First, I had a recruiter call where we talked about my experience generally. Then, I had a call with the hiring manager who asked a few brief questions about my background and skills. Finally, I had three interviews with people I'd be working with: a cross-team manager, the director, and the senior director.
So there were 2 rounds in total. The first was a 35 minute chat with the Hiring Manager. Then there was a 60 minute Panel round where they asked questions related to requirements and also had a live coding exercise.
