Like most of the reviews mention, EAI's interview process is indeed a bit different and longer compared to some other companies. But the people I talked to in various stages of this process always made sure that not only was it a very pleasant experience for me, but that I learned something out of each talk as well. Once I completed the behavioral and cognitive assessments, I was contacted by HR (pretty much the same day) to proceed to the next step in the interview process. The initial video interview was mostly about them getting to know me, and there were 3 simple coding questions as well. The second round was a tech interview where I got to meet a couple of people I'd be working with, and I got an opportunity to show them my work and thought process. Then there was another round of technical interview where I built a web page that takes in data from the database and displays them (along with a few other things). This was mentioned in one of the reviews earlier, but in the interviews, they don't expect that you'll have knowledge of the technologies that they use and are working on. They just wanted to see how good I am at what I do. Then I actually had a phone conversation with the CEO of the company!! That was actually a pretty good (and surprising) experience. The final round was a set of onsite interviews (both technical and non-technical) with most people in the team. It was a long day, but the process never felt rushed. My favorite part of that day was when I got to have lunch with the entire company, where everyone was happily talking with each other (and this is something they actually do everyday). I even got a session with just the new hires (without any managers) so that they can provide honest feedback on their experience with the company so far. At the end of the day, there was a final round with the CEO where he gave me the job offer. So overall, a very good experience.

There were many phases to the interview process. Multiple initial screenings for a good personality fit, as well as basic aptitude tests. Then, more comprehensive proficiency assessments, as well as an in person interview with multiple teams.
