Technical Behavioral Presentation
It started with a brief meet-and-greet with about 7 people. Then, I gave a 30-minute presentation that I prepared. After that, there were six one-on-one interviews with most of the folks who were at the presentation. The interviewers were engineering managers, leads, and engineers. The coordinators did a good job of helping me through everything, and the team seemed really open and helpful. I had plenty of chances to ask questions and got a solid feel for the project and the people. It was one of the better interview experiences I've had, especially these days.

The take-home assignment was a challenging and enjoyable task. Following that, there was an on-site interview conducted in a panel format. The recruiters weren't very forthcoming about equity details. The company declined to provide specific information on stock valuation, such as the number of outstanding shares or the preference stack, which raises some questions. Additionally, recruiters seemed to attempt to place me in a lower-level position than my experience warranted. The recruiting team has experienced turnover, so the process might have improved since my time there.
