Technical Behavioral
The interview process was certainly a lengthy one. I was living in LA and applying for a position in the NYC office. I did some part-time paid freelance work for two months before they flew me out to NYC for an in-person interview with the CTO and COO. Soon after, I Skype interviewed with the CEO and then I was hired. It took a while but considering the long distance I was moving to take the job, I was glad they took the time to make sure I would be a good fit.

Behavioral Presentation
We had several 30-minute interviews over a few months, mostly on Skype. The interviews were pretty straightforward, asking about leadership style and my background. They also talked about Defy's mission. They didn't really go into the details of the job responsibilities much. It seems like the company is growing fast and is still figuring out its management structure and processes.

Behavioral
This was a horrible interview process with a lot of red flags that I should have noticed earlier. It felt unethical and incompetent. The CEO was the most unprofessional person I've ever met. I've been following the company and they have a lot of turnover because the CEO is a nightmare.

Behavioral Presentation
Over the course of four weeks, I had several Skype and phone conversations with about four or five people at Defy Ventures, each progressively more senior. The discussions provided deep insight into Defy Ventures' product, mission, and objectives. It's a truly commendable mission.
