Each person I met on the interview panel, from tech screen to full day session, was friendly, warm and professional. The interviews are set up for your success and very relevant to what you will do on the job. This for me means that the company is very thoughtful about their hiring process. Working with the recruiting team was a pleasant experience as well.

Brex gave me a positive interview experience that focused upon the practical demands of the role — i.e., stuff I would actually do on the job. The 3-hour frontend assignment was fun. It was challenging without being tricky, and I could make my own framework choices and work in my own editor, so it felt comfortable. The scope of the assignment wasn't unrealistic, but I doubt many people finish it in its entirety, so don’t let that dress you out. I'd take this kind of interview any day over Leetcode-style problems. My only gripes were that I could've really used a 5-minute break during the 3-hour coding period. (I could've taken one, but it would've come out of my coding time.) Perhaps they should require a 5 minute break at the midpoint? Also, for the more senior engineering roles, I think it would be wise for them to probe a bit more for leadership skills. The values interview focused entirely on whether I'd be a good teammate versus an effective leader.
