Had a video call discussion to talk about my background. Interviewer was easy to speak to. Overall, the interview was a typical background screening call going into detail about the various points brought up.
Slow and tedious. You have to wait 2-4weeks for each stages of interview that only takes 1hour. And I'm not sure if there's like 4-6 stages total or something. So you are in this dragged out nerve wrecking anticipation the entire time. And each time u have to somehow get the time off to do this interview. It seems to be a great company but they don't respect the interviewee's time.

The first round was an intense behavioral with the Senior Engineering Manager. Next round was a take home assessment, and then a follow up interview to discuss the assessment. The follow up only did about 15 minutes about the assessment, and then it was 40 minutes of technical theory questions.
