Process

I applied online (I can't remember where).

Within a few days, I spoke to a recruiter on the phone. A week later, I went for an onsite interview (there was no phone screen).

The onsite consisted of three sessions:

  • Two design sessions
  • One Q&A with the CTO

There was no coding interview.

At the end of the interview, I asked why no coding interview had been included. The answer was a refreshing, "We looked at your open-source contributions." No other company I interviewed with bothered to look at my publicly available work!

The Q&A with the CTO was casual and focused on personality and career goals, which I also quite enjoyed. Generally, the interview process felt pragmatic and tailored to me personally.

When competing offers came in, my recruiter was responsive throughout. All in all, I enjoyed the process.

I indicated an accepted offer, though I haven't accepted yet.
