It was an awesome experience with a great team. They really care about you as a person instead of all the technical bs. You get to talk with everyone in the office to make sure they like you and you like them.

The first round was a HireVue where I had to answer 6 behavioral questions, 1 question about my location preference, and complete 3 mini-games. It was pretty cool that I could retry each question up to 3 times, but unfortunately, I never heard back from them.
