Process
I had a fairly typical screener call after being emailed a few times.
The questions were vague and focused mostly on my resume and various points from it.
I answered some additional long-form questions via email and was told a day or two later that hiring managers were moving forward with other candidates.
Had I continued, there would have been a more intense, four or five-part interview.
Questions
Many of the questions focused on my "0-to-1 product building" experience.
