Process
Applied online and received a call from the recruiting coordinator to schedule a phone interview.
The phone interview was completely technical and lasted a total of 45 minutes. Just 5 minutes were spent learning about me and gauging my background. Then, there was a programming question for which I had to write code in Javascript (I chose it!) on HackerRank's CodePair.
Overall, I would say the interview was of average difficulty. I was able to solve the question and was on the right track, but due to time constraints and interview jitters, I was unable to get my code to run.
The interviewer was very helpful, and the interview as a whole was a nice experience.

Still hybrid with the majority of days working from home.Cons: Every Black woman and some non-Black women who have worked in my department have left the team or company or been fired during my short time here.

YMMV depending on your relationship with your managers.
