The interview process involved a 2-hour technical screen with mobile engineers, focusing on two algorithm questions. This was followed by an on-site stage where candidates worked on a project with the team for the entire day, and they were paid as contractors for this part. Finally, there was a 30-minute CEO/cultural interview, which was a casual chat.

Coding Technical Behavioral
The interview process was incredibly frustrating and a complete waste of time. After completing all the interviews, I was never informed about passing the final round with the CEO. I had to chase them for an update, and after a week, they informed me they were exploring hiring in Canada instead of the US. Despite constant follow-ups over three weeks, I was left in the dark. Suddenly, they stated they were only hiring US-based candidates who could come into the office, which contradicts their supposed remote and work-from-anywhere culture. The management and HR team were incompetent, leading to over two months of wasted effort for everyone involved.

Behavioral Technical Coding
I chatted with the recruiter, then had a 45-minute interview with a team member. After that, there was a panel with 2 developers (one back end, one front end). I didn't get an offer, but the people were really nice and the questions were interesting! I think I didn't perform well because I'm more of a junior dev, and they were looking for strong mid-level or even senior candidates.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process was pretty disappointing, especially the last part. The interviewer was super unprofessional and not nice at all, which was a bummer because the company seems so friendly. Right away, he seemed bored and like he wasn't listening. He kept scoffing at what I said and looked unhappy the whole time, making it really awkward. The worst was when I asked him something and he just ignored it and kept talking about his own stuff. It was so rude, especially since he acts so approachable online. He clearly didn't even look at my work because his questions were so basic. It felt like a monologue, no real conversation or understanding of my viewpoint. It was really discouraging to feel put down when it should have been professional. It made me doubt the company's vibe and how they treat people if this is how they interview.
