Technical Coding
Applied months ago and got an email with a coding assessment and an IQ test. Then I scheduled a recruiter phone screen. After that, there was a technical interview via Zoom with two engineers. One asked basic Java/OOP questions, then broad questions about random tech. The other engineer didn't speak. Got rejected a few days later. The whole technical interview felt impersonal and ineffective, with nepotism seeming to play a role.

Coding Technical Behavioral
The interview process was a bit unusual. It began with an automated email from HR asking me to complete a few tasks. There was a coding test, which was standard, but also an IQ test and a personality test, which I found concerning as I don't think these assessments are effective for the software industry and can limit diversity. Following that, I had an initial screening with a recruiter where we discussed the job basics, my background, and experience. There was some miscommunication, but the next step involved an interview with several engineers. This part lacked structure and mainly involved quick-fire Java questions, finishing with some algorithm problems. The last interview was a one-on-one with the Director of Engineering, which included more Java questions and a discussion about my background and strengths. None of the interviews were via video, making the experience feel somewhat impersonal.

Had a chat with the talent manager and met some team members, including the Tech Lead. Spent about 30-45 minutes with each of the 6 people I talked to. Everyone was nice and respectful and asked some good questions about JS, Java, SQL, and C.
