Process

The process had 4 stages:

  • Recruiter phone screen
  • Technical phone interview
  • Onsite technical interview day
  • Onsite meet and greet (with the CTO, Director of Eng, one of the VPs, etc.).

The technical interviews were fairly difficult, but I had positive experiences with all my interviewers. Everyone was very personable, engaged, and made it feel like they wanted you to succeed.

I found both of my onsite interviews (one technical, the other more cultural) to be very rewarding and much more transparent than many other onsites I've had. I felt comfortable discussing major concerns I had with joining a small startup, competitors, and even how other job prospects compared.

All in all, the interview process was one of the notably positive ones I've gone through.

Questions

A variety of technical, theoretical, and cultural questions.
