Case Presentation
So after the first interview went well, they moved me to the second round and set me up with the next interviewer. We picked a date for the second interview, but then the interviewer didn't show up. Then I got an email saying they were sick and wanted to reschedule for the next week. The week after that, the night before our meeting, they emailed again about some family emergency and we needed to push it to the week after that. On the day before my third attempt to do my second round of interviews, I emailed to check if it would actually happen. Still no reply. The interview didn't happen.

Technical Coding Behavioral Presentation
The interview process had three rounds. First, a quick phone screen. Then, a coding challenge and some general questions about computer vision and machine learning. The final round was a virtual onsite, which included a computer vision problem-solving session, a 30-minute presentation of a personal project, and a behavioral interview where the manager mainly talked about the company.

Coding Behavioral Technical
An external recruiter contacted me, so I first spoke with them. Then, I had an initial conversation with the head of platform engineering. Following that, I completed a one-hour coding assessment on Coderpad with a senior engineer. I was then quickly invited for a virtual 'onsite' which included two more coding interviews, some cross-functional/HR discussions, and an interview with the VP of Engineering. Overall, it was a really good experience with engaging conversations and tough but reasonable coding problems. I especially liked talking to the VP of Engineering; they really sold me on the company and patiently addressed all my follow-up questions.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
This was a two-day interview process. I talked with technical leaders, engineers, and product managers. We had really engaging talks that went deep into domain-specific issues. The recruiter coordinator was really flexible with scheduling interviews to fit my calendar. The whole process felt very transparent, and everyone I spoke with was humble and knowledgeable.
