Coding Behavioral
I went through about six interviews with different people. This included my peers, the person who would be my manager, and the internal folks who would rely on me to solve problems. I also met with the engineers who would build out the solutions I'd architect. The interviews had a coding test, some scenario-based questions, and also some general discussions. I thought it was cool they were looking more at my actual skills instead of if I'd memorized specific Python stuff. The people interviewing me were pretty smart and nice.

Technical Coding System Design Behavioral
LinkedIn recruiter reached out. After a quick chat with the recruiter, I had an intro call with the CTO to talk about my interest and some tech stuff. Then, there were two coding interviews with medium Leetcode problems in whatever language I wanted. If I passed those, the next round had a troubleshooting interview and a system design interview. The final step was another chat with the CTO. The whole experience was really good, and they were super flexible with scheduling. It was cool to meet the CTO early and then again at the end. The recruiter was super quick with responses after every stage, and everyone I talked to was nice and clearly excited about the company.

Behavioral Case Presentation
This was a 7 stage interview process which lasted just over 2 months. I was constantly checking in about feedback because they were so slow to respond after each stage. They claimed to be taking their time to ensure they have the right candidate but it should not take them this long to figure it out. On top of that it shows a real lack of respect for my time and effort as a candidate. It took them 2 weeks to get back to me after the 7th interview just for them to reject me. And then they said they could not provide me with any feedback. What were you spending so much time on if you can't even provide feedback to the candidate at the end? Total lack of respect for the candidates. It's a shame because all the members of the team that I met were very nice but they were clearly all overwhelmed by their responsibilities and burnt out. They easily could have removed two stages to the interview process and it wouldn't have made a difference. Based off of the reviews on Glassdoor from other employees at Gro, they clearly need to set up more efficient processes. This is the bare minimum for any company.

Behavioral Technical Case
The whole interview process took about 4 months and I spoke with 7-8 people from different levels. It was pretty cool to talk to people from different parts of the company, but honestly, it felt like way too many interviews for a small company. It made me wonder if they don't trust their hiring team to pick the right person. The first 3 or 4 interviews were super repetitive, asking the same things over and over. The HR person was really on top of scheduling and following up, but the fact that it dragged on for 4 months really makes you think about how efficient this company is.
