Behavioral Technical

It started with a basic HR intro, then I talked to the hiring manager, and then a peer. The hiring manager's interview was a bit weird because they were driving home from the doctor's. The last I heard anything was a Saturday morning email from the HR recruiter saying decisions would be made in a week, and then silence.

Behavioral

Had an initial 30 minute HR screen and then spoke with the hiring director. They insulted my experience and spoke down to me about my official title, basically disregarding my experience and what I actually did. I was really excited about the possibility of working for this company, but the experience completely turned me off.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • They only asked about official titles and dates.

Started with two calls with the hiring manager and recruiter. Then, there was a four hour panel interview that covered leadership style, product thinking, system design, and code review and improvement. Overall, a pretty direct process.
