The interview process was very smooth. Recruiting was very responsive and seemed genuinely interested in figuring out what team would be the best fit and moving me through the process.
I had a phone call with a recruiter to determine team fit and a day of onsite interviews, but this may have been an abbreviated process since I was under time pressure from other companies. The onsite consisted of an architectural question (design an API, describe the backend with some constraints), a pair programming style interview, and behavioral interviews.
Everyone I interviewed with was very friendly and seemed like folks I would enjoy working with. All in all, I really enjoyed the interviews compared to some more aggressive interview experiences I had with other companies.Interview Questions
