Process

The interview process was clear and well executed.

They tell you what the steps are, where you're at, and what the next steps are. They are also considerate if you ever need to reschedule.

For the technical part of the interviews, they were not all too concerned about getting super deep into the language but more about if you can justify the choices you made within the technology provided.

It felt more like a code review than an interview, and it involved actual programming. This was great for someone like me who has trouble articulating my thoughts when nervous because I can show them instead of telling them.

They are also very transparent about their work and workflows. I asked the managers what I should expect on a day-to-day, how the team works together, and how we'll be working together. They were happy to explain everything.

Basically, when they said "We're not only interviewing you, you're interviewing us as well," they meant it. They seemed keen to impress me as a candidate just as much as I was trying to impress them as my potential employer.
