The interview process starts off with a 30 minute phone screen with the recruiter where they ask about past experience and motivations for looking for a new role. They also give a high level overview of the role.
I applied online. I interviewed at Intercom (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2020
Interview
Applied online. Phone Interview with Recruiter, followed by a Written 'Take Home Test' Assignment. Additional phone call with the hiring manager. 'Virtual Onsite' final round zoom interview (about 2.5 hours) in which I met with 4 team members individually and the recruiter as a wrap up.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you walked someone through a complicated software or technology tool?
Enjoyed first round with recruiter. Second round included a timed video recording with questions. Didn't leave enough time to answer question and caused unnecessary pressure which resulted in a poor experience.

Question 1
Scenario based question: how to give a good candidate experience
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Intercom in Jun 2021
Interview
It seems like unless you worked Amazon or Google and put your pronouns (cause that is a thing) in your name dont waste your time here. Being interviewed by someone who is barely in the company 2 months and bragging about the time before he left. Told by the company that it doesn't seem I want this type of job cause its not project orientated - yet i was specifically asked about experience in projects. Also being asked a question that is beyond comprehension and clarification is beyond frustrating. If you have to say "what i mean is" the question is terrible. Honestly I imagine these people smell their own farts and clap themselves on the back when they design these convoluted interviews.
If you are interested in this sort of place here is some info you may find useful.
First call with Third Party Recruiter. Take home test - asked to schedule a candidate onsite interview. Call to discuss test. Two interviews for final round
