Process

Extremely impressive interview process with remarkable people! I applied online for a remote position and a recruiter reached out to me a few days later. Process included the initial phone screen, a code pair interview, then a virtual onsite, which consisted of an additional code pair interview, a software/cloud architecture interview (they sent the problem in advance), and a final behavior-focused interview with a manager. Every one of the interviewers was professional, personable, and kind, even while seriously testing my abilities.

They seemed to focus more on my thought processes and conceptual knowledge during the technical interviews than on my raw coding skill, which I personally thought was an excellent approach. When the pressure was on during the code pair interviews, they helped me feel at ease.I felt the recruiter was completely transparent throughout the process and did everything in her power to make it a positive experience.
