OA is just a "why you" type of question First round with a senior dev which is much less technical and more tell me about yourself Second round is seeing if you are more qualified

I applied online. I interviewed at Chess.com in Oct 2023
A quick phonecall with a recruiter, and then a few weeks later a 1:1 call with a design lead. Standard design interview questions, good responses to my questions. I was told I would hear back about next steps in a few days but it has now been almost a month. I suspect I have been ghosted by this company.
- What is your least weakest link in the design process?
Anonymous Interview Candidate in Berlin
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Chess.com (Berlin) in Aug 2023
It was a good interview, but the compensation is pretty low if you are outside of the US. This was the main concern. There are three interviews 1. Recruiter 2. Interview with engineer or team lead(no coding challenges) 3. CTO interview
- Tell me about yourself and your experience

The interview process consisted of answering an Intern Questionnaire, which is a mix of Behavioral and few Technical Questions. No Whiteboard Coding when you meet with the team manager. Chill process.
- Question about SQL and Stored Procedures.

Great interview process, especially for a lover of chess! The interview was conducted in a few different stages, after I sent in my application, a recruiter got in touch with me and we had an introductory call after which I was given a task which was reviewed and followed up on by the Director of Business Analytics who I then spoke to as well! I then had brief calls with the VP of CRM, the CEO and the CTO who eventually offered me the job!
- They asked me to complete a data-based task which I could complete in either SQL or python

You have to fill in an application on their website. Once you pass this step you receive an email to speak with a technical recruiter. Next steps include completing a coding test at home using Vue. Theres no limit on how long you take with this step. Provided that you pass this step you may be invited to have interviews with the team lead and CTO.
