The interview process includes a call, an online test, and in-person interviews. It involves writing a job description, posting it, scheduling interviews, doing preliminary interviews, conducting in-person ones, and then following up to make a hire. There's a lot of discussion in the industry about how to make the interview process better, mainly to attract and hire better people. One idea is that tougher interviews actually lead to better job matches. Turns out, this is true. Candidates who go through a hard interview process often find the company really cares about finding employees who are a good fit for the job and the company culture.

Behavioral Technical Coding

I interviewed with Ishi back in early 2019. There were 3 rounds total. The first was a 1-hour session with basic technical and job profile questions. Then, a technical phone interview that was supposed to be 20-25 minutes but ended up being about 45-50 minutes. Finally, I went to their office for a technical code challenge.
