The entire interview process took roughly 3 weeks. The first interview was with the internal recruiter, who asked me several questions about my experience and provided an overview of the company. The second interview was with the Hiring Manager, which I enjoyed because it felt more like a conversation than an interview. They represented the company extremely well. The third interview was with an Engineering Manager, and I also enjoyed this conversation; they were highly knowledgeable and a great communicator. The fourth interview was with another Engineering Manager and a representative from Product; again, I enjoyed it and gained a better understanding of the company and their product.

The final interview was with the CTO and was very informative, though a bit rushed as we only had half an hour; however, they were such an inspirational person.

It's been a week since I heard anything back. It's disappointing not to hear anything either way after such a positive process. I've rated the experience negatively because the lack of communication reflects poorly on the People Team rather than on the engineering team.

How have you dealt with conflict?
