I was emailed by their senior technical recruiter for an introductory call to fill a senior software engineer role. I then scheduled the initial technical round. 1st technical round: I met with a senior software engineer and was given a fairly simple coding problem to implement. He then followed up with system design questions that were fairly straightforward for an engineer with a few years of experience. virtual onsite: A 4 hour virtual onsite interview was then scheduled. -1st interviewer was a senior engineer who tested my knowledge of system design. This was the most in depth of all the other technical rounds. - 2nd interview was a basic react coding test. Nothing too difficult, just to make an API request and display the info on the page. - 3rd interview was another system design problem. This focused more on database knowledge and how to structure tables relating to a situation. - 4th interview was with a product manager to determine day-to-day team preferences and behaviors. Some situational questions were thrown in. -5th interview was with an engineering manager to discuss culture fit. This was a fairly casual conversation and moment to ask questions about the company. - finished with a summary conversation with the recruiter Post virtual onsite: Was informed that I would be a better fit for another team. What I wasn't told was this was going to be a down-level to a software engineer II position. Final interview with another engineering manager: A casual conversation about team culture, a couple situational questions about handling conflict and adversity, then some moments to ask questions about the team. Reference check - required to give 3 references with one being a manager. Offer conversation - had to give a verbal YES to see an actual letter. I wasn't completely informed on the details, particularly the stock options portion. I gave them an initial yes to see a letter but I didn't feel the stock options were worth it because the base pay was lower than my requirement. In the end, it would have been a lateral movement from a team I enjoy. Attempted to negotiate a bit higher on the base pay but was denied.

It was the worst interview I've already made. The interviews looked to not be very prepared to apply it. They made a lot of strange questions, and the feedback they gave it was I'm middle level. I'm right about my seniority, but I learned plenty of things doing this interview. For example, the whiteboard, isn't a whiteboard, talking about technology or other things, it's a tech "challenge" to reorder some data in 3 CSVs files. All tech interviews looked unhappy doing this job, so I started to think about the position. A piece of advice, don't apply to a tech position. You'll lose your time too.
