There was no or very little whiplash in company direction. The teammates were great and supportive. The company was rather transparent. We were working on an actual problem, primarily search, that AI can meaningfully improve. It was mission-driven, and people were invested in solving problems even if some of them were hugely messy.
Straightforward algorithm and data structure interviews (something about storing an index for page search across array of array of data) -- typical Leetcode medium style. Talked through with senior eng.
The interview process consisted of one manager round, followed by two coding rounds, followed by one system design round, and finally one background check round. All rounds were very standard big tech interviews.
I applied through LinkedIn. I scheduled the recruiter call and technical interview. After that, I had a technical interview and got a rejection right after the technical phone screen. It took within two weeks.
