The interview process was professional and went smoothly, like a typical process. I had an online interview and screening. I ended up getting an offer from another company, so I didn't move forward, but overall it was a good experience.

the process was super slow and took way too long, plus they ghosted me even after I followed up a bunch. The interviewers themselves were great, but the HR team was awful, not responding and giving out wrong info.

Behavioral Technical

The interview was for an engineer position, and both the manager and HR rep hosted it. Being able to communicate clearly was important because they could only listen and write. The room was quiet and had a glass of water, pen, and paper to help collect thoughts. I was generally successful, but someone with more seniority was chosen. I was then put into a 'pool of valid candidates' for the next open engineer position, and luckily one opened up a few weeks later.
