Entrevista
After submitting an application (via LinkedIn), within a few days I was contacted by a recruiter and we set up a phone conversation.
That call occurred later that same week. It was a pleasant half-hour conversation -- the typical screener call where I talked a little about my experience and she told me about the company's history and business model. A day after that I followed up with a thank-you email.
Within a week the recruiter set me up with 3 follow-up calls -- one with the hiring manager and two skills-assessment calls with engineers. The original screener call had been voice-only but the calls in this round were video calls, and in the case of the skills assessment calls, there was some screen sharing as well. All three calls were friendly -- we went over my experience, and discussed some common problems that come up when transcoding video and how I would go about solving them. I followed up with three thank-you emails to the various people I had met with.
A week later, I traveled to the Tubi office for in-person interviews. Over the course of several hours I met again with the hiring manager, with a tech lead I had not met with previously, and with CTO.
I also had lunch with a sampling of engineers from other groups. This part was quite informal and I talked a little bit about my experience and got to ask them about their roles and what they liked about working for Tubi.
(I really appreciated that Tubi provided lunch. I had recently done an all-day interview with another company where no lunch was provided, and not even a break was given for me to find my own lunch. In *that* interview, by 2pm I felt the skipped lunch was really affecting my performance/presentation. So it reflects well on Tubi that they plan for lunch as part of the interview.)
At the end of the on-site interview, I met with the recruiter to sum up and to gauge my interest. This was also a good touch that made the process seem organized. I have been to interviews where things just seem to trail off -- where whomever is the last person you speak with walks you to the elevator and doesn't have any insight into what the next step is.
Early the next week Tubi made me an offer, which after a few days I accepted. So far I'm finding Tubi a pleasant and interesting place to work.

There was some white-boarding but not too much. In general there were no brain-teaser programming questions (e.g., most efficient way of traversing a binary tree) and all of the questions focused on the problem domain, which in this case was video.
