HR, Hiring Manager screening, 3 rounds including CTO. I only ventured to make it to the Hiring Manager portion and we both realized that this would not be a role I would not want to work in. Namely because they are doing "estimates as a deadlines." And engineers who were not able to get their items delivered by their estimate had to work mega overtime. I think HR also mentioned 50+ hours a week is what everyone just does. I asked if they were allowed to give longer estimates to deal with engineers being forced to work overtime and that was not received well. The manager was coming off as insulting and rude saying things like "you just worked on migration projects only" and "you don't have any experience in react" despite having it and even showing him big name production apps it was used on. So a bit confrontational just for the sake of being rude. But he was also inaccurate. I think he did great to bring these concerns up, but he should keep it professional. Also his wife or gf kept walking into the webcam which was strange. I imagine working for him would not be pleasant.

I spoke to the recruiter first and just went over my past experiences. Then it went to a hour long conversation with a Senior Engineer. We spoke about my past work and did a coding challenge. Then I spoke to the another Senior Engineer for an hour, similar format. Finally I spoke to the CEO about roles/responsibilities.
