The first step was a phone screen with a recruiter. She seemed very disinterested; she barely made eye contact, fidgeted in her chair, and appeared to be simply going through a list of checkboxes.

After that, I was set up with a 1-hour pair programming assignment with a Zoom dev. This was the highlight of the process for me, as the interviewer was engaging and pleasant to work with on the problem.

Next were a series of three 45-minute interviews with various team members:

• The first was with a front-end dev. I had trouble understanding him and had to ask him to repeat himself multiple times. Like the initial recruiter, he seemed to be going through a preset list of questions without showing any real interest or intending to ad-lib at all. Most were very low-level JavaScript questions about concepts you don't typically deal with during a real workday (e.g., describe JavaScript's event loop, describe the advantage of JS's function scope). Essentially, these were things that, if needed, you would look up on Google in five minutes during the workday.
• The second interview was with a back-end dev. This was better, as he was easier to understand and seemed more personable.
• The last interview was with the head of OnZoom. She seemed nice, but the interview was mostly her talking at me. I was interrupted multiple times by her connection almost dropping (which seemed ironic, as we were using the company's product, Zoom, to chat).

I received an email from the recruiter two days after the final interview, letting me know they were passing on me. When I inquired why, she offered to set up another Zoom chat at a later date to go over it with me. I replied with some availabilities and offered to let her just send me a written summary instead. I haven't heard anything since.

Overall, the lack of interest, difficulty in communication, and the general feeling of them robotically going through the interview process left me feeling like I'd dodged a bullet. It sounds petty, but I likely would have turned down their offer had they given me one.
