Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Denver, Colorado

Positive ExperienceGot Offer
Process
- Phone call with engineer
- Phone call with recruiter
- Online technical screen quiz (Triplebyte). I was not clear on what they were looking for since the position I was interviewing for was Full-Stack Rails, and the quiz had a lot of Java, C, and Python-specific questions.
- Online technical interview (pair on problem). It was a contrived scenario, but the interviewer was very polite.
- On-site technical interviews (pairing) with 2 engineers, 1 head of another department, and the CTO.
Everyone I met was extremely gracious and hospitable. I can't remember the last technical interview I had where the interviewer was so nice.
Very smart and practical people. I think attitude and personality add a lot into the assessment of the candidate.
