Process

Talent person: 30min intro Hiring manager screen: 60-minute interview Deep dive interviews: A series of two, 45-60 minute interviews Team interview: A 60-minute interview with two engineers on the team Leadership wrap-up: A 30-minute interview with a senior leader

The interview felt very one-sided, with the interviewers constantly firing questions at me without giving me much opportunity to inquire about the team or the company. When I finally managed to ask some questions during the first stage, the recruiter couldn't answer even basic queries about the team's size or the engineering department. During the second stage, the responses I received to my questions were vague and lacked substance. It felt like they didn't have a good grasp of how they're working and why.

Overall, it was a disappointing experience. I was initially excited to speak with a company whose product I have extensively used and appreciated as a developer. However, this interaction has made me question their culture and the direction in which they are heading.
