It was a really easy process, with just 2 interviews. They focused on checking if I was a good culture fit and if I could learn new things. I got an offer about 2 weeks after the last interview. The whole thing was super straightforward.

The interview went okay, and the interviewer seemed to have good relations with me, but we didn't communicate as well as we could have. They were looking for both good and bad people, and I'm not entirely sure what that means. We'll have to see what happens this year.

The interview was pretty standard. They asked some sports-related questions, but nothing too difficult. Mostly they wanted to know about your experience, and if you're okay with starting at a lower level and working your way up, you should be good if you get past the first interviews.

There were about 3-4 interviews total, starting with screens and going all the way up to the VP level. Overall it was a good experience, and the interviews and questions were pretty straightforward. The whole process does take a while though, so don't get discouraged if it seems like it's taking a long time to hear back.
