I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kaleidoscope (Minneapolis, MN) in July 2024
Interview
The interview had three stages:
- Initial Call with the Chief Technology and Product Officer (their team is small, they do not have an HR department)
- 1 Hour Video Interview with the Architect (this was just a conversation, no whiteboard questions or questions meant to "stump" you)
- 3 Hour, In-Person Panel Interview. They divided it up into three time slots, two team members each. I met everyone on the team: Product Manager, Backend Engineer, SDIT Engineer, Business Consultant, and another interview with the CTPO and Architect. The CEO was also pulled in last minute to talk with me.

Interview
I had 4 interviews, which seems like a lot, but it was impressive how quick the process was! Interviewed during COVID-19 and actually really liked the virtual process. It made it easier to work around everyone's schedules and find times that worked.
