The best interview process I've had in my career. Quick, relevant questions and great communication throughout. Process is as fast as you are able to find time in your schedule. Took 1.5 weeks for me.
1 - Phone screen with recruiter (15-30 mins)
2 - Technical interview with a couple of engineers (no code) (60 mins)
3 - Pair programming coding challenge (90 mins)
4 - High level technical/behavioral with managers/directors (30 mins)
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Oddball (Salt Lake City, UT) in Apr 2023
Interview
I applied on indeed and was given a link to setup up an initial call with the recruiter. I was told that Oddball liked to move fast, so there wasn't much waiting to know where you stood in the process. Next was a technical phone screen that took about 30 minutes with fairly standard questions to make sure I understood core concepts of the languages and frameworks I'd be using day to day. After that, a pair programming interview was set up. It was not some tricky puzzle, but focused on the two frameworks I'd be using day to day. Once I was given the green light on the technical interview, I had the final interview with one of the VPs. This was more of a get to know you type interview and I was told an offer was incoming.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Oddball in Apr 2023
Interview
Everyone was great. Something that indicates a healthy culture to me is interviewers that feel like they are rooting for you, rather than trying to "gottcha." So far this first impression has been affirmed by my onboarding experience. There are checklists and guidelines, everything is clear and reasonable, vs. most jobs I've had where they just stick you on a ticket and say good luck. It really seems like this company is one that values its employees and likes to invest in their success and growth.
