It takes a few weeks to get from the online assessment to the actual interview, and then a few more weeks from the interview to the final decision. The whole process takes ages because there are just way too many applicants. The job market is brutal right now...

Coding Behavioral Technical

So the interview process started with a tough CodeSignal assessment, really put my coding skills to the test. Then I chatted with HR and the hiring manager about my interest in the company and if I'd be a good fit for the team. Lastly, there was a pretty intense tech screen, which just shows how much they value strong technical skills.
