We had 2 rounds of interviews. The first was a technical interview focused on basic Python concepts. Then, I was given a take-home project. The second round involved discussing the take-home assignment and also included an HR-related discussion.

I had a phone interview first, and then they wanted to do a face-to-face meeting. After the first interview, they didn't respond for three months, and then they called to ask about a second interview! After the second one, I still haven't heard back.

I spoke with the CEO, who was very knowledgeable about her business and asked insightful questions. We had a great discussion about strategy, company values, business challenges, and her vision for the company. I really enjoyed it.
