1 phone call. 1 in-person interview with the head of product. 4-hour interview with 6 people. Most of the people I talked to are pretty smart especially developers. Some product designer are ok but not so impressive. It's kind of wasting my time because based on my portfolio, they should already be aware of my skills but the position they are hiring is not matching, which I only got to know in the last interview. So there is no surprise that I didn't get the offer.

After handing in my CV I had a recruiter reaching out for an initial interview. It clearly stated that there is no preparation needed for this round. Recruiter call was on the phone and quite impersonal with a standard script. The recruiter provided all the basic information you would expect from a call like that so I got a clear picture of the set up, team and company. I was then asked to walk them through a project of mine which came as a surprise, considering the ‘no preparation needed’ statement on the invite. Overall friendly call but please be more upfront what you’re expecting of candidates during this interview.
