Candidate-reported interview process

It was a quick and messy interview. They didn't seem to know what they wanted to ask, which made it difficult to respond effectively. The whole thing took about 30 minutes, and I got an offer, but I turned it down because the pay was too low.

You’ll meet your boss, the director, and then a cross-functional partner across 3 rounds. They're pretty chill and encouraging, but they do skip around the fact that there's a lack of partnership and diversity overall.

It was a group interview with a lot of questions about personal life and habits, and also about scheduling. I would go through it again. It's definitely attainable for people with differing amounts of experience.
