I had the initial screening call moved without warning. And after that was given a take-home assignment. Ghosted after spending 5 hours on that. Very unprofessional and I do not recommend.

Interview
First, you schedule an interview with one of their technical recruiters, nothing too heavy here, mostly questions about your background and experience, and trying to see if you're a good fit for the role/s they have open. My interviewer additionally made a REALLY good demo of what Tome is capable of, and it's a really good glimpse into what you'll be contributing towards if you join. It'll be followed by a coding interview, followed by another for culture fit, so pretty straight-forward process. I did not go through to the next steps after my recruiter interview as I accepted an offer in a different company.

Interview
Authors Note: this is a small organization, so I expect they will be able to identify who wrote this review. A compact interview process that includes meeting many cross-functional stakeholders plus a homework assignment/presentation: 1. Call with Recruiter 2. Zoom with Hiring Manager 3. Present take home project to a Panel 4. Interviews with the Panel #3 and #4 scheduled for the same day. I was given about 2 weeks to prepare for the presentation, then 24 hours before the presentation they canceled on me to move forward with another candidate. Bummer because I had already prepared the presentation and was ready to share it with the team.
