They gave us the process info beforehand so we could prepare. The interview process was smooth and streamlined. Be ready to show what you know because you'll need to create a small demo. This also helps with the school's teaching process.

Interview process overall went well. The first interview was with an in-house recruiter and the questions asked were very thoughtful that allowed me to showcase my skills and personality (not typical, boring interview questions). The second interview was with someone within the company that I think is related to the CEO. It went well but my interaction with them left me with the impression that this role would be overworked and underpaid. I was told I'd hear back but never did even after following up. Likely wasnt selected which is fine but would have appreciated a notice considering I was told I'd hear back

It started with a recruiter call asking general behavioral questions and about my background. After that went well, I had a second round, which was a more conversational technical interview with a team member.
