Got phone screen by an HM who was professional and friendly. Was asked some CS and DB fundamentals followed by a coding exercise. He also explained well on the role's responsibility so after the call I had a pretty good picture. Then there was a full day virtual onsite (due to COVID), which was typical SWE onsite covering coding, design, behavior, etc. Everyone I talked to was nice and enthusiastic about their job. After passing the onsite, I was asked to talk to the SVP and I got an offer a couple of days after. Because I had other interviews lined up, they had been patiently waiting for two weeks, and the recruiter had been very supportive and helpful along the way. I had opportunities to talk to the HM and other leaderships during that time to help me make decisions.
Unfortunately, I decided to accept another offer which was more aligned with my current interest, but from the interview process, I can tell the company has a good work culture and cares about its employees a lot. If this is important to you, I would highly recommend it.
