I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Compass (Los Angeles, CA) in Nov 2023
First round was standard phone interview screening with recruiter. Second round was Google meet with two team members. Essentially, the same interview twice. Questions were scenario based leaning on specific examples in past work history and more negatively framed than I anticipated. Answers were typed. One team member paused interview to respond to a message coming in.
