Senior Staff Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
Lengthy and intense, their signals gathering seems likely to optimize for a certain kind of candidate, which might filter out otherwise good candidates. But everyone was pleasant.
I had asked not to schedule all interviews on a single day and ended up with five back-to-back, but it wasn't so bad.
Questions
Lots of "describe a time" storytelling questions.
