The interview has 4 steps. 1st with team lead, 2nd is a take-home exercise, 3rd is a technical interview, 4th is leadership meeting. The response time between steps is very slow and you don't get much feedback. The take-home exercise didn't seem to have any impact nor come up in the technical interview.
There are five interviews in the whole process and described in the rest. 1. engineer - coding test 2. team lead - check your previous experiences 3. VP - cultural fit 4. CTO - in-depth discussion of your projects 5. CEO - cultural fit
