This was honestly the best interview experience I've ever had at a tech company (and I've interviewed with dozens). I interviewed for their Senior Android Engineer position (although most of their engineers are generalists / full-stack). There were two initial phone screens: one with an Engineering Manager and one with a lead Product Designer. It was fairly casual -- they asked me about my background and my experience at my previous company. We also chatted a lot about the product and culture at Threads. Next step is a two-day working interview where you actually get PAID to work with them for two days! It's a model I've never encountered before, and I absolutely loved it. I got the opportunity to build a real feature, attend different meetings with their engineering / product / designer teams, and do a demo at the end. It was a real hands-on experience for me to understand how their product development process works, how their engineering teams work, how they collaborate, and what their culture is like. It was truly enlightening, and I felt like the interview was a two-way experience because I was also gauging what it would be like to work for them. I wish more tech companies followed this interview format!!! You get a much better signal from a candidate this way instead of using the usual data structures / algorithms questions. They also really care about the people they hire. For example, when I received the offer, I asked them if they could sponsor me and my partner to move to Canada. They went out of their way to accommodate my situation and booked a meeting with me, my partner, and their legal team to address our concerns. It was so touching, and I never had a company care so much about their candidates before. Even though I ended up accepting an offer at another company (on a VERY thin margin by the way, it was such a close call), I absolutely love Threads -- the people, the product, the engineering quality, the culture. I'm deliberately keeping in touch with the entire team so that I can revisit the company in the future. :)
