Recruiters are engaged and do a great job of communicating and passing information to each other. On-site was fun; engineers and managers were kind and patient. Conversations were calm and felt like discussions, not interrogations.

The process was straightforward. There was one phone interview, then a jump to the final round with a bunch of technical questions and one round of product questions. I got scheduled pretty quickly, and the recruiter was very responsive.

The interview process involved several stages: * A standard 30-minute screening call with HR. * A 1-hour live coding session with one of their engineers, followed by a brief chat. * A 30-minute call with two managers. We stopped the interview
