I spoke with Sarah, a recruiter, for about 30 minutes over the phone. Even though I didn't make it to the next stage, I was really impressed by how professional and nice she was. It seems like most companies don't bother to make candidates feel appreciated when they're not moving forward, but that wasn't the case here. I got an email saying they decided not to proceed and wished me luck. I'd love to work for a company that's so honest and caring, and I hope they might have an opening for me in the future!

Behavioral Technical Presentation
A recruiter first gave me a 30-40 minute phone screening. Then, we exchanged emails to confirm my interest in the role. After that, I had an in-person or Skype video interview where I was asked about basics, my work history, and more difficult conceptual problems. Lastly, I had to submit a sample of my work or a project I'd developed.

Behavioral Presentation
I got into the process through a referral. It kicked off with a 1-hour call with one of the founders. Then, the hiring manager reached out and guided me well. I had more video interviews with future colleagues and people I would manage. After that, I went on-site for interviews with senior leaders and other team members. I got an offer not long after. The hiring manager was very responsive.
