Behavioral Technical Other
They got back to me fast to set up an interview, but then went silent for two weeks before reaching out again. We then set up the first interview. After we talked about the job, they asked me to email my availability for the next interviews: with the hiring manager, a technical screening, and one with each person on the team I would be working with. After that, I had an interview with HR to cover logistics and ask a lot of questions. Lastly, there was another chat with my potential manager and HR about the job offer.

Technical
The interview process started with a phone interview that was done over email. After that, there was a video technical interview. They asked me to share my screen and test the join page for second life. It was a 30-minute interview, so there wasn't enough time for a proper technical interview. Overall, the interview process felt a bit scammy and left a negative impression about the company.

Behavioral Presentation
This is a pretty long interview process. You'll meet a lot of people from different departments, even if they aren't people you'd work with directly. My experience might have been longer than usual, but plan for at least 4 or 5 interviews. Most of them happen in SL. Knowing how to get around in SL might help you impress them, but it's not a must-have. It's important to figure out who's interviewing you and how they'd fit into your role if you were hired, so you can tailor your answers. They seem to focus on how well your past experiences prepare you to succeed in this pretty unstructured environment. If they're looking for someone to lead, you might get asked about how you'd try to change the environment and why you believe your approach would work.

Technical Coding System Design Behavioral Presentation
It was a Google-style process with several rounds (5 in total). Each round involved discussions and technical questions from different team members, including managers and future colleagues. There was a whiteboard challenge where I had to write pseudocode, and questions about fundamental concepts in the required technologies and design patterns. I also had opportunities to ask questions throughout. The final part involved a non-computer puzzle, a well-known physical toy, where I had to solve it given it was only a few moves away from being solved.
