The interview process was really nice, and the people on the team were super helpful and great to work with overall. I'd definitely recommend it. People seem to like the company because it's collaborative, offers flexible work, and really focuses on learning and growing. The leaders are easy to talk to, and there are lots of chances to move up. On the flip side, some folks mentioned that project deadlines can get pretty intense, and the fast pace might be a bit much sometimes. It could be even better if they improved how they allocate resources and managed workloads.

The interview was pretty straightforward if you prepare beforehand. It was well-organized and ran smoothly. The whole process had three parts: one part was over the phone, and the other two were conducted via Zoom. It took a few hours in total, and everyone I interacted with was really kind and professional.
