long and time consuming but still a great experience for the candidates. definitely have a high bar when it comes to hiring and leadership. i think the organizations and processes interview doesn’t lend itself to people coming from non big tech backgrounds but that’s my only feedback.

Applied online and moved through a quick recruiter screen. The mini-onsite had two rounds - first was around people management: handling tough team dynamics, hiring approach, and leading through ambiguity. Second was technical: a bit of live coding and a lightweight system design - nothing crazy, but you need to be clear on trade-offs and decision-making. The onsite had four rounds. Started with system design with a tech lead - think ledger service or analytics pipeline. They care more about structured thinking and scalability than perfect answers. Then came two management-focused rounds - one behavioral, one role-play. Expect scenarios like shifting a top IC off a project they love, or resolving engineer conflicts. Final round was a 20-min technical presentation based on a 1000-word doc about a project I led - deep tech dive plus business outcomes, followed by intense Q&A. Used Prepfully for mocks - helped a ton with surfacing the right kinds of examples and stress-testing my manager stories. The process is a little tough but fair - make sure you put strong emphasis on clarity, ownership, and leadership judgment.
