I went through 4 rounds of interviews, totaling about 7.5 hours. There were a lot of red flags that made it easy to decline the offer. Several team members were late for interviews, there were day-of cancellations, and the scheduling was confusing. The recruiter started scheduling, but then a coordinator took over midway through. It was weird this wasn't the case from the start. Expect a low-touch interview and follow-up process. I was really disappointed with how they let me go from the process after I invested significant time talking with and waiting for these people. I received a generic disposition email, which felt impersonal considering the time and effort I put in. I guess I'm old-fashioned, but a personal phone call would have been appreciated.

The whole interview experience was pretty smooth until the very last interview. My first chat and the hiring manager interviews went fine. Same for the first three video interviews with staff. The fourth video interview, though, was really bad. I almost wanted to quit that one because of the questions and the interviewer's attitude. When I spoke with the hiring manager, they asked about my Linux CLI skills. I was honest and said I didn't know much, but the hiring manager said I could learn on the job and really pushed me to do so, which I did. I took a half day off to do the four video interviews with other staff. Like I said, the first three were good and I felt like it was a good fit. But the fourth 'technical interview' felt like an attack. The interviewer really grilled me on Linux CLI and made me feel bad for not knowing specific commands and prompts. After that, they started talking about hobbies that had nothing to do with the job. We even went 20 minutes over the scheduled time, which made me feel like my time was wasted. I was the second choice for the job, but honestly, I'm glad I didn't get an offer because that one interviewer would have made me not want to accept the job.

The interview process was pretty extensive. First, I had a couple of calls with the recruiter, who was really open and asked great questions. Then, I went onsite for an interview with three people, and each of them focused on specific areas. After that, I had another round with six people, and they were also very organized, with each person covering distinct topics. It was good to talk to everyone from the VP down to peers and people in other departments. Everyone was professional, the office was functional, and I got a sense of competence, polish, and focus.
