The team asked great questions. In both the technical and cultural portions of the interview, I felt the questions asked were directly applicable to the work the team does on a daily basis.

The hiring manager/whoever contacts you directly via email; no screening from HR or anything, which was weird. (In fact, the whole process I didn't talk to a single HR or even the HM. Or saw any faces during the video.) The first thing was an untimed assessment with a few general questions and 2 coding. If they accept it, then they have you talk with a couple of SWEs there. The person who I thought is the HM didn't even show up to that meeting. This was probably one of the driest interviews I've had; all I really heard was 2 internal jargon repeated multiple times without context, and ended with still close to no tangible technical workings/understanding of their product. Also note that the response time is like super long. You'll probably think you got ghosted each time.

The process was smooth. First a video interview, then a few coding challenges, that were medium difficulty they weren’t timed so you could work at your own pace. Next was a 2 hour block of interviews technical and personal via video. All in all is was a great experience, everyone was very kind and personable. I was honest about what I knew and what I needed to work on and they were very receptive.
