I had a 40-minute call with a recruiter. Honestly, the recruiter didn't seem very enthusiastic, which made me wonder about the company's commitment to its HR/Recruitment team. They asked pretty basic questions. Given how much the company talks about providing a great candidate experience, I was quite disappointed. A few days later, I received a rejection email, and I felt like I didn't even get a chance to showcase my full capabilities.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process mirrors what's outlined on their careers page. You'll start with an introductory interview to get acquainted, followed by a more formal discussion with the hiring manager. Then, there's a take-home assessment that requires some time and dedication. They do give you plenty of time to finish it and provide all the necessary resources and support (and they compensate you for your time). This assessment is a great way to experience what it's like working there, including interacting with team members, using their tools, and understanding their workflow. They're generally very prompt with follow-ups and feedback.
