Behavioral Technical
The interview process was a pleasant experience. The interviewers were objective, clear, and friendly. They gave a good overview of the job and the expected outcomes. The process didn't feel too long and seemed to fly by, mostly feeling like a good conversation that ran a little over time. I would have kept talking, but the interviewers had other commitments. I left feeling engaged and motivated for the role.

It's a pretty fast and easy process. First, a screening. Then an initial tech interview with about 50 quick questions, mostly yes/no. After that, an advanced tech interview focusing on problem-solving and architectural decisions. Then, a management interview to check soft skills. Finally, an offer.

Technical
The HR part was smooth and great, but the technical interview, honestly, was one of the worst I've had in my 10 years as an SWE. I was interviewed by one Engineering Manager and two Staff Engineers. All the questions felt like they were being made up on the spot, and they seemed unsure of what answers they were looking for, sometimes even disagreeing with each other. It made the whole process really stressful.
