Process
A very good interview process.
There are only a few steps. The recruiter is knowledgeable and responsive, and none of the steps are automated. The company clearly cares about its candidates and respects their time. The technical and nontechnical questions asked are practical and reasonable.
No puzzles, no big egos, no feeling that an interviewer is trying to demonstrate their superiority or "get me".
Leadership seems competent and empathetic.
Their compensation levels are transparent and competitive.
I would interview here again in the future.
