I applied online. The process took 3 weeks.

I conducted all processes remotely, either on the phone or over Zoom. The process took about three weeks and was fit around my schedule. I first received an email to set up a call with a member of the Talent Acquisition team. This was a 30-minute call just to get a measure of the kind of person I was, what I'm currently doing, why I'm applying for the job, and the normal kinds of things.

The second stage was a 30-minute conversation with a tech lead to learn more about my technical background. The atmosphere was less of a test and more of a general conversation to get a feel for what I've worked with. The third stage was a take-home technical test, to be done in a language of my choice, but I was recommended to do it in a language relevant to the position I was applying for. The advised time was 1-2 hours, but I went a little overtime to add good documentation and check my work. The task was not particularly challenging, but allowed me to show off my coding style and structure.

Then there was a final stage interview made up of three parts:

• A 45-minute interview with an Engineering Manager and a Product Manager.
• Another 45-minute pair-programming interview with an Engineering Manager to go over my technical test and make improvements.
• Lastly, a 30-minute interview with the VP of Engineering.

All throughout, the person taking me through the process was very helpful and communicative, making sure to check up on me at each stage to see how things were going, which I think was great. The interviews themselves also had a nice, relaxed atmosphere to them, so I never felt pressured during the interviews—even during the final stage interview despite the length of time spent on it. The interviewers were responsive and provided good feedback after the process on how they thought I did. Overall, I think they've got a good handle on the process and—provided you do well in them—each stage will give you more confidence to keep going forward through the stages.

What improvements do you think you could make to your current team's working processes?
