I'm really surprised by the other reviews here. I figured others may appreciate reading a completely opposite experience.

I put my app in through their careers page and was asked to do a 30-ish minute code challenge.

I received a response after a few days and was offered a phone call with their recruiter. This meeting was mainly about getting to know more about me and my career decisions. I had 10-15 minutes to ask questions about the company. It felt a bit like a "culture fit lite" interview, but she was nice.

The recruiter introduced me to an engineer on the team I was applying for. This screen was 40-ish minutes of building on top of my solution for the take-home and 15 minutes was chatting. I didn't really get a read on whether I passed or not by the end of the call, but he answered all of my questions and seemed genuine about liking the work and his team.

I was offered an onsite a few days later. I actually enjoyed the onsite even though I knew I didn't pass by the end of it – scope creep bit me hard and my solution wasn't working completely. It wasn't a bunch of random questions; rather, it was a project that I scoped out with them during our first hour. I then gave them updates and asked a few questions through Slack until the end of the day, where we all got back on a call and I shared what I created for an hour. One of the founders joined the call (Amjad). He seemed cool and low-ego to me.

I ended up talking with half of their team by the end of the process, and my impression was that they knew their stuff, they're nice, and I appreciated that they worked around my schedule.
