The interview process was quite long, taking about 2-3 months. I had roughly 6 interviews, including a phone screen, a hiring manager chat, a portfolio review, a collaboration review, a whiteboarding session, and finally an interview with the CPO. The whole experience felt a bit cold; they didn't seem to try to get to know me. During the whiteboarding, some interviewers didn't even introduce themselves, which was odd. I get that I would have met them later, but a quick hello would've been appreciated. The entire process felt drawn out. After six rounds, it took them nearly a month to send a rejection email. To top it off, they didn't provide any feedback when I asked for it.

The interview process had several steps: first, a recruiter call for about 30 minutes, then a 1-hour interview with the hiring manager. After that, there was a take-home assignment where I had to build a CRUD app, which took around 4 hours. Finally, there were group interviews covering System Design, Squad Health, Product Manager, Operations, and the CTO, totaling about 5 hours. The people interviewing were really nice and made it easy to get into the questions. They were patient and even encouraged more questions. My only issue was the total time commitment, around 6.5 hours, to decide on a Senior Manager candidate.

Behavioral Technical
I applied online and a recruiter reached out a week later. We had a first phone chat where I discussed my background and my interest in the company. The next week, I had two Zoom calls back-to-back with people from the growth and supply teams. Then, that same week, I met with the VP of sales for the final interview. I got the offer the following Monday. It was a great experience; everyone was really nice and made me feel comfortable. I liked that the interviews felt like conversations and that they checked if it was a good fit for both of us. They asked about my experience and what I'm looking for in a company culture, work environment, and management.
