Process

The process with Gitlab was pretty straightforward. It went as follows:

I will break down each part in the Interview Questions section.

  1. Email questions, mostly technical around
  2. Personality Interview
  3. Technical Interview
  4. Behavioral Interview (with Manager)
  5. Behavioral Interview (with Director)

At this point, I was "ghosted" for about two weeks. Then, I received an email out of the blue that the position I had applied for had been filled but they were considering me for the same position on a different team and if I wouldn't mind some more interviews. This was a little frustrating, but I went ahead with it.

  1. Behavioral Interview (with a new Manager)
  2. Behavioral Interview (with a new Director)

Shortly after, I was pretty well immediately given an offer, which I accepted.
