Had an interview with the hiring manager and HR, which was mostly a chat with a few basic questions about my experience and skills. Then there was a take-home assignment. The process was a bit slow, but they were responsive and it was a good experience overall.

Behavioral Presentation
The whole interview process took several months and consisted of about 4 to 5 rounds. It took an incredibly long time to hear back after the final round. What was really frustrating, though, is that after not getting any response about their decision, they reposted the job opening on their website. The only change they made was to lower the advertised salary by 15k from the original posting. Super unprofessional.

I applied with a cover letter and resume. The first interview was with HR virtually. The second interview was in-person at the NYC office with a C-level executive. The third interview was with the Department Lead virtually. All interviews were between 30 minutes and an hour long.

Don't even bother applying here. The application and interview process gives you a clear idea of the company's poor processes. The interview process was slow. I applied and was contacted a month later for a phone screen. After the phone interview, they said they'd be in touch. I followed up every month, and they kept saying I was still being considered and no decision had been made. After the fourth month, I followed up again, and they told me 'oh sorry, we're close to a decision and we wish you the best on your search'. They were very unprofessional with follow-up and didn't seem to know what they were looking for in a candidate.
