I had a phone interview that lasted 8 minutes total. The interviewer asked 4 questions and didn't seem to want to learn about my background. It was obvious he was in a hurry and not interested in talking to me. If you're going to interview someone, please be ready to have a conversation.

It was a pretty fast and easy interview process. I started with a phone screen with a recruiter. They asked me some basic stuff about my background and about my current job to make sure I was a good fit. Then I had to do a skills assessment, which was like a project, to get an in-person interview. After I finished that and they invited me in, I had three interviews with different people from the Customer Success team. The last step was a phone interview with one of the Co-Founders.
