Technical Coding
The interview process is handled by Karat, an external company. An interviewer from overseas (likely Africa or South Asia) will conduct the technical and coding portions. The coding challenge involved a HackerRank question, with the first one being medium difficulty and the second one being hard, which I couldn't solve. The whole experience felt very automated, and the interviewer offered no assistance. For theory questions, if you don't respond within 5 seconds, they move on. It's not a terrible process, but you need to be well-prepared.

Coding Behavioral Technical
The hiring process took over a month and had several steps. I had two recruiter chats, a manager call, and a take-home assignment. Then I did pair programming with a Principal and Senior Engineer, followed by Collaboration 1 with a Principal and Senior Engineer, Collaboration 2 with two Engineers, and Collaboration 3 with a Designer and PM. Things were going fine until Collaboration 1, where one engineer was super rude and seemed more interested in showing off than interviewing. Another colleague looked uncomfortable because of how this person acted. It was the only bad interaction I've had in my career. After everything, they ghosted me.

Behavioral Technical
I applied in early January 2021 and heard back about a month later to set up the first interview. The first round wasn't super technical. About two weeks after the first round, I was contacted to schedule the final round. I felt like the interview went okay, but the interviewers seemed a bit unresponsive. After the final round, I reached out to my recruiter but never got a response. I tried multiple times over the next two months before giving up. The fact that I didn't even get an automated rejection email after the final round, and then was ghosted by my recruiter, was pretty harsh. I'm sure this isn't typical for the whole company since I've heard good things, but that was my experience.
