Technical Coding
The entire hiring process spanned about a month. It started with a brief follow-up email, then moved to two technical phone interviews, and concluded with an onsite interview in San Francisco. The process was quite swift and honestly one of the best interview experiences I've had. The interviews were mostly about how you approach and solve problems. The atmosphere was welcoming, and all the interviewers were really nice and friendly.

Coding Behavioral
I applied for the Software Engineer role online. About a week later, the recruiting team reached out to schedule the first round, a phone screen. I did a lot of prep, but on the day of the interview, the interviewer seemed rushed and unprepared. They asked general questions about my past project experience. For the coding part, they gave a not-so-difficult exercise. I came up with an optimized solution, but the interviewer disagreed, which made me question their grasp of fundamental algorithms.

Coding Behavioral
The interviewer and HR were nice and respectful. Some of the questions didn't seem to relate to my experience or resume. There was a coding question that I eventually solved, but it took me a bit longer than I expected.
