Technical Coding
I had a screening interview first, and then a Coding Interview. The coding part was pretty tough for me, but I guess it's not too hard overall. They really value industry and technical knowledge there. It seemed like a great place, but I didn't get the job.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Can you tell me about your previous work experience?

Behavioral Technical Coding
It started with a call with the manager, who seemed a bit off and tended to over-analyze everything, coming off as passive-aggressive and overbearing. They threw in a NodeJS event loop question out of the blue, so watch out for that. Next up was a screenshare coding interview. If that went well, the next step was a 4-hour onsite interview, which is in a tricky location to find and in a sketchy area, so bring a jacket because it's cold. It's pretty clear the company's struggling; they expanded too quickly, laid people off, and closed offices, now only operating in SF and not even in the South Bay. They're not really a tech company and have this weird mission they expect you to be super passionate about, constantly checking if you align with it. They seem to value mission fanatics over developers, likely for loyalty during tough times. I realized it wasn't a good fit, so the CTO, claiming to be swamped, canceled the meeting. If that happens, just bail on the next interview.

Behavioral Technical Coding
I applied online but didn't hear back, so I emailed HR and got a reply the same day to set up a preliminary phone screening. The questions were mostly behavioral and about my resume. A week later, I had a technical interview with the CTO using ScreenHero. He gave me a long coding problem and asked me to send the solution via Github. Another week passed, and I had a second interview with an engineer, also using ScreenHero and Skype, but this time I had to code in JavaScript. I didn't pass this round. The process was otherwise smooth and the interviews were pleasant. Everyone seemed really passionate about the company and its mission.
