Process
The interview process is not developer-friendly at all. It seems like one hand has no idea what the other hand is doing. The first contact was with several non-technical people. I prefer it when the first contact with a company is with a developer or hiring manager who is a developer. That way, we can see if the tech is a great fit.
Questions
They asked what team structures I have worked with, the size of the team, was it distributed, and the release cadence. They also asked about the tech I have used.
