1. Intro Call with Recruiter (30 minutes)

Basic intro call discussing different roles at the company and where interests lie. The recruiter I spoke to was very pleasant and accommodating with my timeline.

1. Technical Phone Screen with Karat (1 hour)

Karat interviewer was great and very professional, much better than many other companies' technical phone screens with an in-house engineer. Algorithm-based coding questions.

1. Onsite (remote) Interview (5 hours)

Technical Challenge, Architecture, past project discussion. Nothing too crazy.

My interviews didn't focus on algorithm questions; they were more project-based. Personally, I felt it was a better assessment of my abilities than writing a string reversal algorithm or the like.

1. Management Meet (2-3 hours)

Discuss various aspects of the company and your background with different members of the managing team. Very technical leadership, and all were very well informed.

1. Offer

Call with who I would be reporting to and the recruiter. The manager is there simply to address any final questions you might have about the role and get a better feel for the team.

Overall, a very positive experience with the interview process, and the company can move very quickly if required.
