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.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
Had a meeting with the Hiring Manager first, then met with the design team for my portfolio review. After that, I met with the Product and Development leads to discuss the product. The final part was a 60-minute whiteboard session where the designers and Product lead acted as clients and stakeholders. The whiteboard scenario was irrelevant to the industry or product. I didn't get an offer and didn't get any feedback, just the standard 'we decided not to move forward with you for this role.'

Behavioral Technical Coding Group
After the initial recruiter call, there were four more interviews, including conversations with team members and whiteboard/collaboration challenges. They were upfront about everything. I thought the process was a bit much for a junior role since 5 rounds is longer than other mid-level jobs I applied to, but everyone was really nice and I had a good time.
