Behavioral

The process was very fast and efficient. The first interview was a relaxed and chill discussion about the role and duties, like having a great conversation. The second interview was also scheduled quickly and went more in-depth about the role, benefits, and other aspects. They were very communicative about what to expect. Overall, it was a great experience!

Behavioral Technical

I chatted with them at my school's career fair and got an email for an interview about a week later. I'm from California, and they initially scheduled an interview for their New York headquarters. I emailed them back saying I'd prefer an LA office, and they connected me to the LA office. After about 9 emails, I had an hour-long interview set up with two senior engineers. I got there 25-30 minutes early, so I waited for them for that amount of time before the interview, which lasted about an hour and fifteen minutes.

Behavioral Presentation Group

It started with a call with two people, then I had a presentation interview with a large group where I showcased my past design work. The whole thing was pretty smooth and fair. They were cool about my schedule. I wasn't super stressed, but having so many people interviewing me did make me wonder a bit about what role they thought I was a fit for.
