Process

I like the level of attention and care that's put into evaluating candidates, not only at a technical level but also from a professional and values perspective. It helps minimize wrong hires – not that there aren't any, but so far, they seem to be exceptional cases.

Technical problems are targeted towards getting things done instead of focusing on algorithms, data structures, or similar concepts. While these are important, interviewers emphasize that they are not the main area of focus.

Questions

Their life story is unique in the sense that the interviewer really tries to drill into how you demonstrated company values or alignment in the past.
