The process was thoughtful, exciting, and surprisingly pleasant in the larger context of general tech hiring. From a cultural perspective this process was a great example of 'what you seek seeks you.'

They asked me a series of different LeetCode style questions as described by others. The difference is that when you have someone on the other side of the video camera that genuinely wants you to succeed (and not waiting for a 'gotcha' moment) then the whole tech interview experience positively changes. It's my opinion that the actual question itself is a distraction. Beyond the technical solution, what all good interviewers are looking for is how you effectively communicate and interpersonally connect. I felt like I connected on a personal and technical level with each individual who interviewed me. They were all so nice and interesting.
The in person interview was wonderful and exciting. They asked me several questions about my background and history but primarily they opened up time for me to ask my own questions (which I knew they were assessing).

I received a quick response based on my resume for an interview. The technical pre-screen was five very simple questions which I’m sure I answered correctly. The day after I received some canned response that I answered some of the questions incorrectly and they would not proceed. I believe it was due to my initial responses to commuting to the 2nd most crime ridden city in California 3x a week. Lucky for Mrs Midwest she’s grandfathered in to remote work. I would not have accepted if offered regardless, salary and benefits are well below market.

Call with recruiter (7/8), which went well, got an email with next steps, I replied. Silence. I replied again on 7/14. Silence. Come 7/26 I get an email saying the position had been filled. So nice to be ghosted after such a positive phone call.

The interview and offer process was quick. There were three pretty informal behavioral interviews, a system design interview, and a basic technical question that could be extended.
Everyone was quite friendly and willing to answer questions. The interviews with director and VP showed they were pretty technical which was fantastic!
The recruiters seemed very busy because I was interacting with three people. They couldn't match another offer I had and seemed to have little wiggle room with comp/title/perks like WFH.
