First, I had some interviews with the company's HR team. They were really friendly and asked me questions about my background, why I was interested in the role, and some general professional stuff. Then, I interviewed with someone from the credit team. That interview focused more on credit-specific questions, and they were also friendly. Overall, it was a good experience.

Started with Hacker Hank, a two-hour test. Then an interview with a technical lead. After that, an interview with one of the company owners. The interviews weren't prepared, questions were just thrown out, my resume wasn't looked at or commented on by the technical lead, and neither of them saw or commented on the Hacker Hank answers. I don't know why about Hacker Hank.
