They want a cover letter and portfolio before anything. The job description was a bit unprofessional. Even though they are casual, you still need to be professional. The interviewer didn't show up or forgot until I reminded them, and the call quality was bad. I got rejected at screening and they told me to apply again. I wrote another cover letter, wasted 45 mins, and heard nothing back, not even a rejection.

Behavioral Presentation

It was a weird interview. Right after talking to the recruiter, I had what felt like a final interview. In under an hour, it just became another 'Tell me about a project you worked on' and some behavioral questions. They seemed unprepared, didn't ask much, didn't dig deep, and wasted over 10 minutes at the start.

Behavioral Technical

It all started with a quick 20-30 minute chat with a recruiter who told me about the company and asked about my resume projects. They were super nice! A week later, I got a call to schedule the in-person interview with some of the engineers I might work with. This lasted an hour. We started by really digging into my resume projects, asking detailed questions about the tech and features I used to see how much I knew. Then, they gave me two technical questions that were more like open-ended problems to solve, not typical coding challenges. They weren't too hard, just needed some thought and showing my work. I got the offer within three days. It was a really well-run and fair process, with a good mix of technical stuff and getting to know each other. Seems like a great place to work.
