I had a full day of interviews in Dallas, which even included lunch. I got to meet the entire team, and everyone was really nice. The questions focused on my technical abilities and whether I'd be a good culture fit. I got the offer the same evening and accepted it.

The interview process started with a phone call, then an in-person meeting, followed by an all-day interview. It was a long and somewhat inconsiderate process, even though they were friendly in person. They don't inform you if you are no longer being considered, which is frustrating after dedicating around 10 hours to interviews.

The interview process had 2 rounds. The first round was a lunch with a VP and two engineers, which went well and led to a full day interview. The full day interview involved meeting several VPs and Engineers. During this time, some people commented that the CEO was 'different'. The final interview was with the CEO, who dominated the conversation and conveyed a sense of superiority. After this, I never heard back, even after following up with the initial contact. In hindsight, I'm glad they didn't follow up because the CEO gave me a bad feeling, and online reviews seem to confirm this.

I applied with my resume and heard back from the company via my university. The first interview was with two engineers. It seemed to go well; they were nice and asked good questions about my experience. I was then invited to a team dinner with other candidates. We chatted and ate. After that, I never heard back from them, not even a rejection email, which was disappointing. Some other experiences with the company haven't been great either.
