So, the interview process started with a recruiter phone screen, and then I had a 1:1 with the hiring manager. The recruiter seemed pretty sharp and knew their stuff. But, they actually dropped the salary range they posted on LinkedIn a few days later. Also, I just didn't click with the hiring manager; they'd ask questions but then cut me off before I could finish my answer. They seemed really in a bad mood and the whole interview felt super rushed. I think I probably dodged a bullet there. After those two interviews, they just went completely silent and ghosted me.

Behavioral Presentation Other
You'll first chat with a hiring manager, then meet the department manager, and finally the manager you'll be reporting to directly. During these meetings, you'll be asked to explain how to use apps like Netflix as if the interviewer had zero experience with them. They'll also ask you some personality questions to gauge your disposition.

- Explain how to download Netflix to me as if I were your 80-year-old grandmother who's never used an iPhone before.

Behavioral Technical Coding
I had a call with a recruiter and then a call with the hiring manager. Next, I completed a take-home test where I had to write bug reports and some automated tests for a basic webapp. Then, over a few weeks, there were panel interviews with two interviewers each, totaling about 3 hours. They were pretty fast with an offer after that. Keep in mind they ask for four references, so be ready for that. The recruiting team was super communicative; I even got startled by their 'thanks for your time!' email after my first panel interview because I thought it was a rejection. But it was just a thank-you note and provided the interviewers' emails if I wanted to connect. They sent these after every panel interview. All in all, it was a good experience, and I took the offer.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
My interview journey with Calendly was great, from start to finish. It was cool how prepared every interviewer was. They all had really different and smart questions, so no one asked the same stuff, and it was always focused. It showed they really wanted to get to know candidates well. Calendly was also upfront about the interview types, which was helpful. Knowing what to expect made it easier and showed they're fair. Everything was super organized, from the first chat all the way to getting the offer and starting. They had everything documented really well, which answered my questions before I even had them and made me feel good about joining. I feel supported already, which is awesome for such an organized and forward-thinking company.
