Not too busy with the job. The work atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Quite a bit of freedom on how to complete tasks.
Work was many times meaningless. Why put effort if results were wasted? Management didn't understand what they wanted to create. Managers spent a lot of money for their own good, for example, on business trips without any agenda. Managers didn't have any competence.
Get real leaders who can put the company on track and fire a bunch of useless mid-level managers. The company was full of good engineers, but the managers had no idea what was going on.
Quick phone screen and an online coding test. Then, a general technical interview with a few easy HR-type questions about interests, previous projects, working in a team, and motivation, etc.
A 7-round, in-person interview. It was the most grueling and felt pointless because of how repetitive it was. Both system design and LeetCode-style questions were asked. Most interviewers were friendly, but I did not think it was worth going through
This was a 3-hour whiteboard session. It was heavily focused on the technical side only. Questions were a mix of classic software engineering and applying principles in their use case.
