The hiring process was quite straightforward and easy. It started with a technical screening that felt reasonable. This was followed by interviews where I could discuss my code with a lead engineer and the hiring manager, and also the head of engineering. All the people I talked to were very intelligent and friendly, making it the best interview experience I've had in some time.

Technical Behavioral
The interview process was super organized and I didn't feel stressed at all. First, I had to do a technical assessment that I could do from home. After that, I had a screening call with a talent partner. Then, I went through two more technical interviews with different team members. To wrap it all up, there was a final call with the VP of engineering.
