Entrevista
Started off with a phone call with the recruiter. She is very friendly and gives you the rundown of the interview process.
The second step is a one sided virtual interview. You will listen to pre-recorded interview questions then after 5 seconds you will give a recorded response. There is also a 45 min technical challenge during this step.
If you pass this step you will move onto to a technical interview process with two of the team members. One Senior Software Engineer and one Manager. The questions during this step, while focused on your experiences, are fairly technical and cover your experiences with topics like concurrency, memory management, etc...
If you pass this round you will be moved onto the final round that is still very experienced based but focused more on behavioral and cultural questions, with a few technical questions sprinkled in. I had this meeting with the manager I would be working under and their boss.
If you do well here they will send you an offer.

Entrevista
The interview had three parts:
1. An initial phone screening with the recruiter. This was pretty typical, the recruiter was nice enough.
2. A "hirevue" session. This was a set of ~8 video recorded question and answers, 2 of which were technical coding challenges. Both questions were simple.
3. A 2.5 hour on-site interview. This consisted of three 2-3 person panels of interviewers that grill you over every aspect of anything you could have possibly worked on plus a time-wasting HR interview that asks silly questions like "what was your favorite project?"
After the panel interviews I received a call from the recruiter about five days layer saying they would not be moving forward because I lack "enterprise-level team experience". Apparently they don't want candidates who are productive solo or on small teams. Especially never admit to having built a product yourself, that's an immediate no-hire for these folks. Instead they're looking for time-wasters, leeches and those who push their work onto someone else all while spouting how amazing Agile/Scrum is.
Ultimately, they may advertise themselves as a "small agile company", but this not representative of the things they actually value.
Pros: the office is nice but nothing out of the ordinary for tech companies, and it's located in a decently upscale section of Plano. The folks there are SUPER proud of it, it's kind of weird.
If you want a job here, just be an rabid Agile fanboy and never claim to have accomplished anything yourself.
