I applied for the position through their career portal, and the entire process spanned approximately four weeks. In comparison to some other companies, it appeared rather lengthy, consisting of roughly seven distinct stages:

• An initial screening call
• An IQ online test
• An online coding assessment
• Three one-hour interviews (each focusing on technical, behavioral, and systems design aspects)
• A team fit evaluation

The extensive nature of this process raised some questions about the company's hiring strategy and whether they had a clear understanding of their ideal candidate profile.

Additionally, it seemed counterintuitive to schedule all the interviews simultaneously rather than conducting them sequentially. This approach left little room for candidates to address any feedback or learning from one interview to the next, as a single failure in any of the interviews meant exclusion from further consideration for the position.
