This was a very slow interview, spanning four sessions in a nine-week timeframe. Things didn't start on a good note when I had an initial interview scheduled with the recruiter, who asked me to reschedule. The next available appointment was 10 days out.

There were long pauses between steps in the interview with no communication, and the platform they use provides no way for a candidate to reach out with questions or comments.

The technical aspects of the interview included an hour-long session with a lead architect and a take-home component focused on presenting an architecture in written form.

During the final face-to-face interview, the chief architect had some questions about the content, but no one else during the interview did.
