Process
The interview process was pretty laid-back. I spoke to a recruiter, then the hiring manager a couple of weeks later. The conversation was casual, and we spoke frankly, which I appreciated. The next step was an on-site technical interview. I received no messages for three weeks, then a rejection email.
