I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at AppFolio in Jul 2024
Interview
The entire interview process began with a recruiter screen, followed by four rounds of interviews. The first round was an interview with the hiring manager, which involved discussing my experience and an object-oriented design (OOD) problem. There were two technical interviews and one technical behavioral interview. Each interviewer was highly professional and friendly, willing to engage in discussions and offer assistance during the process.
I would like to especially thank my recruiter, Samantha, who was fantastic throughout the entire process. She was incredibly helpful, keeping me informed at every stage and ensuring the process moved smoothly and efficiently. She also gathered and provided feedback, and continued to coordinate with various teams to ultimately find a position that was a great fit for me.
Overall, the entire interview experience was excellent. The process was smooth, well-organized, and professional.

The interview process consisted of several rounds of technical and behavioral interviews.
