I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Superhuman (Berlin) in Oct 2023
Interview
HR Interview Engineering Manager Screening Coding Challenge Computer Science Deep Dive interview with prospective Hiring Manager Interviews with HR and EM were pretty smooth and relaxed pace. The coding Challenge phase wasn't the greatest experience, as the engineers didn't look very interested or friendly. Also, they expect you to write the exact solution they want in a 45-minute timeframe, Production-code ready over a code pairing tool. Very unrealistic. On a separate note, all folks in Tech that I've met are from a very homogeneous background, making me think that the company ranks very low in Diversity in Tech.

Other Software Engineer interview reviews for Superhuman
1 phone screen -> onsite: 1 coding, 1 system design, and 1 technical deep dive
The initial recruiter call goes over the role and interview process. After the initial phone screen, you get connected with a second recruiter who handles the remaining process (on site, team matching, leveling). For full stack roles, I was given the choice of backend focused coding or system design. Whichever one I didn’t choose for backend would be the frontend focused interview.
The process was overall very efficient and the recruiters were responsive throughout. They also help prepare you for each interview.
