I had a 30-minute call with HR and they said I'd have like 4 or 5 more interviews, plus a take-home test and shadow an actual support engineer for an hour. They rejected me the next day, but honestly I dodged a bullet there.
AssemblyAI HR reached out in mid-December, and I had my initial soft skill and coding interviews the next week. After the holidays, I completed the final two stages: a system design interview and a team panel interview. A few days later, I received an offer. The overall process was very smooth; without the holiday break, it likely would have concluded in about two weeks instead of a month. The interviewers were friendly and helpful, making it feel more like a conversation with colleagues than a formal interview.
Got a call from a recruiter first. Then had a phone screen with the hiring manager. After that, it was a series of leadership interviews where they asked behavioral questions. Then came the technical interviews. Next, I had to do a research presentation with a Q&A session with a group of scientists. One more chat with a hiring manager followed, and finally, a call with the CEO.
