CTO cold outreached asking to interview for the role. I spend a few hours interviewing with him and some engineers at the company and the CTO proceeds to ghost me when I tell him it's no problem if the position is filled/no longer available and that I'm just looking for feedback on my interview or some clarity. Seems like a great leader.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Maze
Interview
The interview process had 4 rounds.
1) a 1-hour screening call with the CTO
2) a 1-hour technical writing react code
3) a 1-hour technical doing high-level architecture & problem solving
4) a 1-hour behavioral talking about past experience & situation handling
A short informational interview with HR followed by a technical interview with an engineer. The latter was very formal and uncommunicative, seemed as if they were just following a process and wanted to get through it quickly.
