Process

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks.

The interview process, for me, consisted of four parts:

    1. Initial phone screen with the hiring manager. The interview was a mixture of technical questions and motivation.
    1. Technical phone screen; deep-dived into a technical project. This was solely technical and I was not asked any behavioral questions.
    1. On-site panel interview followed by 1:1s with people on the panel. The panel presentation was 50 minutes and focused on a technical topic that I presented on, then I had 1:1s with the people on the panel. Questions were largely technical and based on the topic I presented on, or adjacent topics that came up during conversation.
    1. "Executive Phone Screen" with a Director. Asked a lot of seemingly random questions that seemed aimed at probing my personal motivation. No real technical questions asked.
