The interview was pretty clear from the start, and they were really upfront about the pay. It had three parts: a screen with a Sr. Engineering Manager, then a System Design interview, and finally a discussion about leadership. Everyone on the panel was cool and answered my questions well.

Recruiter reached out on a hiring platform, and the whole process took about two weeks. I really liked the interviews, they focused a lot on hiring with diversity and inclusion at Ribbon, which aligns with my values. The process felt empathetic and respectful, and I got good feedback after each stage about what to expect next. I got the offer quickly over the phone, and they explained it well.
