Coding Technical Behavioral System Design
The interview process was great and took just over a week. A friend referred me, and since I had another offer pending, they were keen to get me in. First, I did a 4-5 hour online coding challenge in Angular. They responded within a day or two and we scheduled an onsite interview for later that week. The onsite included a 15-minute chat with the head recruiter (got a goodie bag!), a 1-hour lunch with a co-founder and two Android engineers, four 45-minute technical/behavioral interviews with engineers and a product manager, and a final 45-minute technical interview with another co-founder. I really liked the team and the office is pretty cool. The time was split between technical problem-solving, discussing past team/project experience, and them answering my questions about the product and team. They gave me feedback afterward, which was appreciated. Ultimately, they felt I didn't have enough back-end experience.

Recruiter gave a welcome intro which seemed promising, so I agreed to a take-home exercise. I spent about 2 hours on it, but then the recruiter completely ghosted me and never responded to my emails. Given my 15+ years of experience, I've never encountered such an unprofessional and rude company. I truly believe this company is a scam, so don't waste any time with them.
