Process

The interview process was fast, with prompt responses from my recruiter. I had four technical interviews in total.

I also had lunch with the VP of Engineering and met a few different team members (apart from my technical interviewers) by the end of the process. Everyone I spoke with was enthusiastic about the company and discussing what they were working on, both currently and previously. Overall, I believe I gained a good understanding of the company culture, goals, and more from these conversations.

Regarding the technical portions, all my interviewers appeared knowledgeable and provided feedback as I worked through their problems. The problems themselves were relatively standard algorithms and data structure questions, with a bit of system design. However, the discussions with the engineers as the problems progressed made them quite enjoyable. For the most part, they felt more like conversations with colleagues than one-sided examinations, which I can't say is universal from my interviewing experience.

A minor detail: as a previous review mentioned, they use software for scheduling calls and interviews. I found this a welcome change compared to the usual back-and-forth emailing for scheduling.
