Behavioral Technical

I was contacted by A-List for this role. First, I had a chat with a recruiter, then followed up with a head of several teams. After that, there was silence until I reached out again. I managed to get the recruiter on the phone. She was hinting that if I cared about work/life balance, this job wasn't for me. Basically, she said directly that if I wasn't willing to work overtime, I wasn't a good fit. I won't be recommending this company. People deserve weekends.

Behavioral Technical Coding Presentation

I had a brief initial chat with an HR person. The next week, I had a 30-minute call with a Solution Architect. After that, I completed a take-home assignment before heading to the in-person interviews. I went to the office once and met with several people like the Hiring Manager, other Solution Architects, and the Product team. These were one-on-one meetings with people I'd be working with. The whole interview process went really well, and they made sure to keep me in the loop and feeling good about it all through each step.
