I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Couchbase
Interview
The interview process consisted of 5 different interviews consisting of talks with several engineers and product managers. The topics were mostly technical and were used to see how much of a fit you would be for the role. There was some non technical questions, but that wasn't the majority.

Question 1
Most questions were situational and were meant to gage technical aptitude. There was one technical screening test that touched on algorithms.
An informal chat with the hiring manager asking about previous experience with an opportunity to ask the hiring manager about the role. It was nothing too technical—mostly behavioural questions and asking about a personal project.

You don't feel like you are alone and are being scrutinized.
