The interview process took 11 weeks for me to hear an answer after initially being quoted 2-3 weeks. Deadlines were never met from the recruiter and I constantly had to push for updates, including being ghosted for 3 weeks after the final round. Positives were the interviewers were pleasant and asked good questions and seemed nice to work with. Overall, really unprofessional experience after making it through 6 interviews, but seems like decent people on the actual product and cross-functional teams.

I applied through an employee referral. Talked to a recruiter who said there were a few roles that would be a good fit. Then, I spoke with a hiring manager who mostly asked getting-to-know-you questions, with a couple of sharp ones. The recruiter later said it wasn't a perfect match but that another role was opening soon. I followed up when that role opened, but then there was just silence. It was a really confusing, negative experience, and I wouldn't trust your hiring managers or recruiters now. I'm a senior product person and can handle negative feedback, but the silence and misleading feedback is frustrating.

This was a great recruiting experience. The recruiters were really responsive, upfront about salary and what they're looking for, and helped me find a good team fit. Em (maybe Head of Recruiting?) was amazing. They were open with feedback, so I either got an offer or learned something, which is always good. Some roles have an exercise, but it was fun and not too much work, and they combine it with the onsite, so you at least get a chance to show what you can do if you do the exercise. The team was also great, just like you'd imagine from the product. Everyone seemed data-driven, passionate about their work, and smart. I'd totally recommend applying!
