The process consisted of roughly 7 calls, with four "final" interviews for System Design, Dev Cycle, Coding and Skip Level. It's more interview steps than typical companies of this size, but they do their best to group as many together on the same day. They are paying above market rate with good benefits, so it's understandable why the process is a bit more drawn out than others. I found out the decision a week after my final interview. The entire process took around a month from initial application to final decision. Despite not quite demonstrating enough to get an offer at the level I applied, they offered a 15 minute session to give some detailed feedback from each of the interviews about areas I was stronger and weaker in, which was very much appreciated.

Had initial recruiter call, lady was lovely and everything was clear, then spoke to an engineering manager. Seems a very top heavy startup. Was ghosted afterwards and had to chase, was proceeded to the first technical with a very robotic interviewer, finished early and spent time on “extension” questions probing experience. From what I can tell the extension is not an extension and more of a necessity to move forward, even having finished early and completed the task was still rejected. Multiple follow up requests for feedback despite having invested over 3 hours of my time in this process were ignored. Avoid.

This was a really weird interview. I probably had 7-8 sessions in total. It started well, I really liked the technical parts of the interview and thought they were thorough. Just before the final Skip Interview I got a call with a lowball offer and lower title. I did the Skip Interview next day and asked some uncomfortable questions and was honest, both of which were not taken well by the senior leadership. This is a great place if you like layers and layers of management (you'll even do a skip interview!), who micromanage and decide the technical stuff. If you love office politics and how you look like and can sell yourself this is the place to be. If you like to develop yourself, be humble and stay true to yourself, I'd say look elsewhere. HR was a great letdown in the end too. It was like were talking past each other. I'm asking for a written email feedback and they are trying to get me in to another meeting.
