The process was professional, respectful, and, dare I say it? Pleasant. The recruiters and HR folks have been incredibly responsive and supportive, which is a breath of fresh air compared to my past experiences at other companies. After my initial talk with the recruiter, I spoke to the hiring manager, who then asked that I speak to three other members of his team in a marathon 90-minute video call. 90 minutes is a long time to talk about yourself and ask questions about a business, but the conversation never wavered and I felt at home immediately. The Ohana culture is no joke! I felt it even more when I went into the office for a panel presentation. There were two people in the room with me, and 5 on a video call. Again, it was pleasant, and even a little fun. I got great feedback and look forward to working with everyone.

A recruiter reached out to me multiple times, and when I finally took the call, it turned out to be a standard placement conversation as they’re currently hiring SEs across several teams. After a 30 minute screening, during which I clearly stated my location, the recruiter informed me that all new SE hires are required to follow a mandatory hybrid in-office schedule. Despite knowing I don’t live near a major office, they said I would need to relocate before proceeding with the interview process. Never heard back after the first meeting.
