Behavioral Technical Coding
This was one of the best interview experiences I've had, totally different from the negative reviews out there. The recruiters were super friendly and kept things moving smoothly. It was a big mix of technical and behavioral stuff. You really need to be passionate about their mission and a strong culture fit. The office is great and everyone was so welcoming. I interviewed right after the WeWork acquisition, so the energy was really positive and exciting. I felt like there's a lot of room to grow here. I happily accepted the offer a week later.

Behavioral Technical
Had an initial call with the recruiter. Then a technical screen for the role. Talked to the recruiter again to go over expectations. Ended up with a full day of interviews with 4 engineers, a qa tester, product manager, and the recruiter. The whole process felt fair and thorough. I would have rated it positively if they had followed up with the result, but they never did, which left a bad impression. They did cover flight, hotel, and return transport to the airport, but no other reimbursements.

Technical Behavioral
I had a phone interview, and a few days later, they invited me for an onsite visit. I met with about six software developers and one HR representative. During the visit, which included lunch, they seemed really interested in my prior startup experience and whether I had my own opinions. They actually encouraged me to debate my perspective.

- Can you describe how you would build a system to recommend meetups to users?
