Process

First, I talked to the hiring manager. Then, they forgot about me for a month. After that, I talked with the team leader. This was a standard interview, discussing the team and how they work.

The second was a really simple interview with two junior devs. They asked me to solve a simple producer/consumer problem.

My third interview was an insane code review of a current pull request, with some real code they were going to merge into the product. I was supposed to critique the code, even though I knew nothing about it.

After that, the HR manager told me they were concerned I was not going to feel okay in their remote team, even when I told them I have been working remotely for more than seven years.
