The process was straightforward and fast. The team knew what they needed and skillsets required; therefore the questions during the interviews were tailored and enjoyable. There were five rounds, HR screening, Hiring Manager call, two technical interviews, Leadership call. Every interviewer was kind and energetic and felt respected each round of the interview.

There were probably 5-6 total interview steps, each becoming more difficult. Initial conversations were around salary and skill expectations, to see if it was a fit, then general technical experience, diving into my resume and discussing specific points. At this point, it became much more technical. First were a couple Leet-code style tests, then a take-home assignment more relevant to my specialty, followed by a code review going over my work. Finally, there was a culture-fit meeting, with an open-ended discussion, and from there back to a recruiter to negotiate the final offer, and compensation.
