Process
This was probably one of the worst interviews I have had with a tech company.
Most of the people I met there thought highly of themselves and would ridicule you with topics you are unfamiliar with.
I would not recommend it to anyone. Also, most of the people looked fairly unhappy.

Great experience until I was laid off

Pros: Very welcoming people, nice office space for a startup. Free lunch was great, with moderately interesting work on the hardware side. Solid work-life balance. The founders seemed friendly enough when things were going well.
Cons: Got laid off with no notice, no time to transition, and after being reassured that the people come first. I don't really care about the company's fate, but I feel bad for the people I worked with who are now scrambling to pick up the pieces.
