Received a referral, which led to an online coding challenge, then a one-hour coding interview, and then an invitation for a remote onsite. Didn't end up doing the remote onsite. Recruiters seemed friendly enough.

Clear expectations, thoughtful questions, and a collaborative tone. It covered system design, coding, and behavioral rounds. Interviewers were sharp but kind. It ultimately wasn't the right fit, or I would have taken it.

I started with a call from the hiring manager, and then proceeded to a phone screen and an onsite round. In general, questions are not algorithm-heavy but heavily emphasize implementation skills.
