I did the interview on karat. I met engineers from karat on a video call, they don't work for czi, they just do interviews for them. The interviewer was very nice and helpful often giving tips.
Thank you for taking the time to share your interview experience. We are glad to see that you had a positive one and hope you keep CZI in mind for future opportunities!

The interview process was incredible. I got to meet so many interesting and talented software engineers on different teams, as well as an incredibly caring team of recruiters. I remember the process involving a coding interview through Karat, a recruiter call, and then finally a coding and behavioral interview with two engineers at CZI.
