Process

The company reached out to me for a phone interview with the hiring manager, which I had a couple of weeks later. Most of the questions in this preliminary interview had to do with my views on work culture and how I have handled conflict in previous jobs.

I was then given a follow-up in-person interview, which was scheduled for about 3 weeks later. The entire in-person interview lasted from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Over the course of the day, I interviewed with about 6 people, including the hiring manager, members of the team I would be working on, and other team leaders.

While my overall experience was generally positive (everyone was very nice, they bought me lunch, etc.), I'm not really a fan of how they structure the technical portions of their interviews. I was basically presented with a few different code challenges with no context or preparation time beforehand.

I am not a fan of these kinds of "whiteboard" challenges because I do not think that they accurately reflect how a person would perform in a real work context.

About a week after the interview, I heard back from the hiring manager saying that they were going with another candidate.

Questions

Most of the technical questions were in the form of small code challenges, which were either performed on a computer or sketched out on a whiteboard.
