Straightforward process consists of three stages - a call with recruiter. - a call with Director. - Onsite interviews (coding, system design, product awareness, culture). - a call with CTO. I passed the onsite interviews with very positive feedback, after that I had a call with the CTO was focus on past experiences and why I left my previous two companies. After I finish everything, the recruiter sent me a rejection template email, I tried to ask for a feedback, he replied that it is against their policy to provide a detailed feedback, that was ridiculous and disrespectful specially after all the effort I did in this process. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time with them and definitely I won't consider them at anytime in the future again.

The process took over a month - granted this happened overlapping a major US holiday, but still. 30 minute HR screen 60 minute technical screen 60 minute coding challenge (language of your choice, administered through karat if you choose anything other than Ruby) 2.5 hour virtual onsite with four phases - Hiring Manager phase, Cross-Functional phase, Values and Mindset phase, and a Director Interview at the end 30 minute CTO interview 60 minute systems design challenge "Founders interview" CEO interview was also floated as a possibility My process ended after the systems design interview, a stage which I was one of the first to undergo. The process is very focused on culture fit to the point where they even refer to it as "culture add". Interviewers are looking for people with certain values and that was made abundantly clear at each stage, in some cases to an uncomfortable level in my opinion. You'll notice that there was no phase where I was able to talk to an engineer about day-to-day engineering life.

The Overall interview process was fine, nothing was overly difficult. I wasn’t giving an offer because I had already accepted with another company. Unfortunately I was waiting on the final round interview with the CEO but it couldn’t get scheduled fast enough.
