The interview process involved an HR call, a phone screen, and a partial day onsite where I met with team members and management. The majority of questions were behavioral or experience based. The whole thing took about a month from applying to getting the offer.

Behavioral
The in-person interview experience was negative from the start. It felt like the decision was already made, possibly due to a previous candidate, the interviewer's mood, or potential bias. There were no people of color in the offices, raising concerns about diversity. It seemed like they might have an interview quota for this role.

- Can you introduce yourself?
- What do you consider your strengths and weaknesses?

Behavioral Technical
The whole process dragged on for about 6 weeks. It started off promising with quick responses and a good initial interview. But then, radio silence. They missed their own deadlines, never provided updates, and ignored my follow-up attempts. After weeks of waiting, I was told I was still in the running... only to get an automated rejection email the very next day. No explanation, no real closing. If you care about communication, consistency, or basic professionalism, you might want to think twice.
Confirmed questions3 questions

- How do you navigate uncertainty when the stakes are high?
- Tell me about a situation where you were given tough feedback.
