There were a lot of interviews when I applied, though they've improved since then. I went through 9 interviews before they offered me the job. As a hiring manager later on, I made sure to cut down on the number of interviews.

Behavioral Technical

Met with a really friendly team! They seem nice and have a good work culture, and I learned a lot from them. I interviewed with HR, the manager, and the team. The interviews were via video and lasted about the right amount of time. They asked good questions and answered my questions well.

Technical Behavioral

First, a quick HR chat with a few easy questions about technical concepts, like data structures, from notes the engineers gave. Then, an engineer reviewed my resume to see if I had the experience they needed.
