Behavioral Technical Presentation
Applied to Cleo when already in late stages with other companies. They provided a timeline for interviews which they stuck to, and I finished the whole process in under two weeks. Everyone was really nice and professional. They told me what to expect at each stage, which made prep less stressful. Honestly, it was one of the easiest interview processes I've gone through recently.

Behavioral Technical Coding
I applied through their careers page and the whole thing took about 3 weeks. It was a really smooth and clear process. I got to learn a lot about the company, their mission, what they value, and I met tons of people from different departments. After the initial recruiter chat, I had a call with the tech team, then a pairing exercise, and finally, two separate interviews, each with two people. I ended up meeting 9 people in total, which was a great way for them to learn about me and for me to learn about them.

Coding
It was two pairing sessions. The second one felt a bit misleading, they said the process was more important than the outcome, but then they focused feedback on not getting the exact results within the time limit. If they'd been upfront about needing to hit specific results, I would have approached it differently, like building an MVP instead of aiming for a perfect product.
