They reached out after two months. First, there was a phone interview. Then, a second interview with both managers, which was a very chill process where we talked about my ambitions, values, and interest in the company. The third interview was with the VP, and we discussed the company and team environment.

The interview was really good and professional. Management was super engaged and asked a lot about my background, what I like and don't like, and how I picture myself growing and developing with the company. They also answered my questions about long-term goals and opportunities for growth and internal movement.

About a week after applying, I got a call for a group interview. The first interview was unexpected, in front of a panel of 5 people. I was super nervous and thought I messed it up. They asked me to pick a date/time for them to call me back with a decision. The second interview went better, with only two interviewers this time.
