The interview process involved several stages:

• An initial screening call.
• A timed coding assessment completed via an online platform.
• More contact with the recruiter/liaison to discuss prep materials and strategy.
• Finally, a series of four back-to-back one-hour interviews, referred to as a "power day."

The recruiter was very helpful and pleasant.

The "power day" itself was a disaster. It was impersonal at best and hostile at worst. The interviewers were not invested at all. Nobody knew anything about me and didn't bother to ask. No outside references were allowed during the coding portions, and the interviewer was not helpful and at times judgmental. The platform used for the coding portion didn't even work properly, and the interviewer had no idea how to use or fix it. I am not sure how this process results in good hiring decisions.
