Interview
Overall a fairly standard interview process. Something slightly unusual was a meeting with the hiring specialist halfway through the process to make sure compensation expectations were aligned.
Unfortunately, the position closed before I was able to make it to the last interview. Even though it didn't result in an offer, it was still generally a positive experience.

Interview
They give you a lengthy questionnaire to fill out. This could be a negative for some people because you don't get to talk to anyone about atomic before you spend several hours trying to put together answers. I got a first interview I though was super simple except for one question. "Describe your first year at Atomic Object". Just seems like an odd question to me. I suppose they are looking at behavioral things. So after a straight forward easy interview I did not get an offer. I inquired why because sometimes it may be just some misunderstanding or can be resolved by explaining something better. I got no response to that. That's not the way I expect small companies to behave. Additionally they oversell themselves. They try to make a point to say all there positions are excellent for someone who is creative. I am aware of some of the places they are in and know that can't possibly be true. It seems like they do mostly small projects. If you want to build something big and complicated I think this is not the place for you but I could be wrong on that point.
