I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Raft (VA) in Sept 2024
Interview
Interview process was two rounds. A screen with the recruiter then an panel interview (3 people of different levels) that included technical and behavioral questions.
The overall process was refreshing. Constant communication from the recruiter and quick turnarounds on everything. I received the offer one hour after the second round.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Raft (VA) (Reno, NV) in Jan 2023
Interview
I was referred for a backend software engineer position. I had an initial phone call with a recruiter, then a week later I did an hour long video call interview with the CTO and an engineer. No coding challenge, just questions about my past experience as an engineer and some of questions on how I would about how I would handle certain technical issues on the job. We also discussed the company and company culture. Afterwards on the same day I got a call from the recuiter about a job offer. Overall it was a very quick and straightforward process compared to interview loops at other tech companies. It shows that they value your time as a candidate.
