I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Affirm in Nov 2021
Interview
Interview started with two phone screens, one take home project, and a 5-6hr interview panel on zoom consisting for a take home project walkthrough, two system design interviews, a hiring manager interview, and a product interview. Total process took about 2 weeks to schedule and to hear back for a decision. The whole process was super smooth sailing and the recruiters were communicative throughout the whole thing.

What does diversity and inclusion mean to you?
Describe a time where you lead a project and ran into issues.
Easy but real-world problem solving stage and an interview with engineering manager, which lasted fifteen minutes - it looked like it was just a courtesy (to satisfy some internal policy requirement perhaps?) since the interviewer wasn’t really interested in anything I had to say. I received a rejection the day after, when asked for feedback I was ghosted

What good/bad feedback did you receive in the past year
He tenido una primera entrevista de toma de contacto y una entrevista de live coding. Ambas entrevistas han sido muy interesantes y sencillas. Los entrevistadores han sido muy amables. El único problema ha sido que en la entrevista de código sí que requieren experiencia “actual” en el lenguaje de la oferta. Como recomendación, si tienes una entrevista en un lenguaje que no estás usando actualmente, dedica una semana a hacer pruebas tipo leetcode en dicho lenguaje, para no tener que pensar en cómo invocar las funciones
