The process took a few weeks.
It began with an initial chat with a hiring manager, followed by two days of interviews split by a week.
From a structural perspective, the interview is reasonable and what you would expect. However, the interviewers were somewhat inexperienced and clearly reading off a set of questions rather than engaging in a two-way conversation about specific topics. Go into this prepared to answer a stock set of questions.
One interviewer looked visibly angry coming into the call, and another was rushed and distracted. It's a well-designed interview, but I wasn't impressed with the overall pool of people I spoke with.
The technical portions were reasonable. However, the architecture presentation session is with an engineer rather than an EM, so be prepared to shift from super deep to high-level. I'm a little curious how they are evaluating this portion; this might be something to ask about before going in.
Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, but I didn't walk away feeling like they have their stuff together.
Please don't put folks into sessions that clearly don't want to be there!
It seems like a fun place, but I would not want the majority of these folks supporting me and my career if I were an IC.
I can't share any questions, but it's all reasonable stuff.
