The interview process was very smooth and pleasant. The people I talked to were nice, and the developers were helpful. They were happy to answer my questions about their own experiences, contributing to a generally good vibe.

Behavioral Technical Case
The interview process began with a phone interview with a recruiter, followed by a phone interview with the hiring manager. Then, I interviewed with a designer and another PM. The process was paced well, but the team sometimes took two weeks to get back to me about the previous round, and it could take another two weeks to schedule the next interview. After my last interview, there was about a four-week period of no response. I had to reach out, and they mentioned they were finishing up other interviews. Two weeks later, the recruiter emailed to say they had moved on with other candidates. The communication could definitely be better.

Technical Behavioral
The interview process was quite disappointing. It kicked off with a recruiter call, which was pleasant. After that, I had a technical assessment with the hiring manager, and I passed that without too much trouble. The final round was meant to be four separate meetings with five interviewers in total, but two ended up canceling last minute. One of these calls, with the CTO, ended 13 minutes early because they had another meeting to get to, and I didn't even get to ask any questions. I finished the final round feeling like I wasn't a good fit because I lacked the technical background and experience they were looking for; I get that a startup needs someone who can hit the ground running. However, if their candidate treatment is any clue to how they treat employees, I'm sure there would have been a culture clash too.

Technical Coding Behavioral
Had a phone screen first, then met with 4 different people in person, including the co-founder. They asked for some of my work, then there was a super easy SQL/tech skills review over Google Hangouts. Then, a final 'surprise' tech screen with random SQL questions. The whole thing was pretty disorganized, kinda unplanned, and the SQL questions were a joke. No BI visualization questions came up. They didn't give a reason for not hiring me after all that time, just sent a generic email from a no-reply account.

- What should I have asked you that I didn't?
