I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Elementl
Interview
3 rounds. Technical (coding, system design), leadership interviews etc. All the interviews went well but the hiring manager kept focusing on my medical leave gap. They were awkward, fidgety, wouldn't maintain eye contact and inexperienced (have managed "Excellence" but not deep/real engineering). I think the engineers are good and they have a good product but they will not be able to scale it (they are stuck with a SQL solution and they do not seem to have the experience or courage to move to a NoSQL solution). They are being hit by support and on-call issues left and right by the clients, so expect to have heavy on-call and client support duties.
