The interview process was pretty thorough and gave me a lot of info. I had several rounds with different people from the company and some stakeholders too. The questions were direct but also asked me to think about different scenarios. Overall, it was a good experience, ran smoothly, and was quick. They fast-tracked things, and I got my offer within a week after my last interview.

The initial stages were pretty fast phone/video calls, and HR was good about keeping in touch. Then I flew to SF for a full day of six interviews back-to-back. Right away, I could tell it wasn't going to be a good match. The very first person I met had zero personality, which killed my vibe for the rest of the day. A few of the interviewers asked questions that didn't relate at all to my experience, and it seemed like they hadn't even looked at my resume. It felt like a waste of time for everyone, and honestly a bit insulting. I left feeling pretty down about the possibility of working there. After the onsite, HR just went quiet for like, four weeks, and then sent a standard rejection email. It's a mystery why they waited so long to send that, but it definitely felt disrespectful.

The interview process was pretty standard: first a recruiter call, then a chat with the hiring manager, and finally a panel interview with a team member and a senior leader. It was a really smooth process. The recruiter kept me in the loop about any delays and gave me some good tips for the panel interviews. Overall, it was a great experience, and I never felt ignored or like they weren't communicating with me.
