Technical Behavioral
The interview process started with a basic aptitude test to check logical reasoning and analytical skills. After passing the test, I had two interview rounds with different panel members. Both interviews were about my skills, experience, understanding of the role, and behavioral aspects. The whole process was smooth and structured.

Behavioral Presentation
It was a pretty thorough interview process with 5 stages in total, but everyone was super nice and genuinely enthusiastic about their work. I started with a recruiter chat, then spoke with the hiring manager, followed by interviews with two team members. The process wrapped up with a final meeting with the hiring manager. My recruiter, Lucy, did a great job keeping me informed about what was coming next.

Technical Coding System Design Behavioral
I applied through LinkedIn. First, there was a recruiter call, which felt a bit rushed but was okay overall. After that, I got to talk to the hiring manager. The hiring manager interview had a Leetcode medium question and we talked about my past projects. Then, I had two technical interviews with developers on the team. Both of those involved Leetcode medium questions. The interviewers were great - really nice and attentive. Next up was a system design interview, which was pretty standard. I didn't quite get the requirements at first, but the interviewer was helpful and explained everything. Finally, there was a behavioral interview with typical questions, and it was fine. Overall, the interviewers were really professional and supportive, which made for a great experience. But, the recruiters totally ghosted me after the interviews. I've sent a follow-up email and haven't heard anything back in two weeks.

Behavioral
The interviewer rescheduled our first meeting an hour before it was supposed to happen, and then was 12 minutes late to the new time. She mentioned she had another meeting right after, so couldn't go over the time even though she was late. The job description said it was remote, but they actually need you full-time at the Westlake location. I told her I live in Culver City, and she basically dismissed me, saying it was too far to be seriously considered. The rest of the interview had a negative vibe; it felt like she was just going through the motions instead of trying to get to know me. They said they'd follow up within a week, but they didn't. I decided not to follow up because they didn't seem to value my time or see me as a good fit.
