Applied online and got a recruiter call that was supposed to be 30 mins but went for an hour cause the recruiter didn't know what she was doing. She kept asking about my experience, and I answered, but she had more questions. It felt like an interview. Then, I had a call with the hiring manager, who was arrogant and was smirking and laughing at my responses. He asked ridiculous questions like, "What does teamwork mean to you?". He then said that they have candidates in the final stages and he plans to move forward with one of them, so he wanted me to be aware so they don't waste each other's time. I received a generic rejection email.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

The interview process at GitLab was really good. First, HR did a screening interview, then I interviewed with the hiring manager. After that, I met with a peer Solutions Architect. The final stage was a demo to a panel. Everyone was super friendly and made me feel welcome. GitLab gave me lots of helpful info and system access to get ready for the demo. The whole thing took about 2.5 months and they were always quick to respond and gave me good feedback. I was happy to get an offer at the end, which I accepted. Big thanks to everyone I talked to for making it a great experience!
