Process

Initial phone call with VP of Engineering. Pair programming with an engineer (virtual). Longer onsite which entailed a 45-minute design interview, a 2-hour pair programming session, and a 45-minute meeting with Product. Meeting with Hiring Manager (cultural and tiny technical).

All in all, the overall process took about 3 weeks. But I get it. I'm now working for the company, and the lengthy amount of time ensures they pick the right people. I'm now working for the company and love everyone. I'm happy they took the time to get it right.
