Interview
I applied online through an employee referral, and heard back from the recruiter that same day to set up an initial phone call. After speaking with the recruiter, we set up a technical phone screen for the following week, in which I spoke with the Software Development Managers from two different teams with similar job openings. The phone interview was a combination of questions about JavaScript and JS frameworks/libraries, general application troubleshooting, and higher-level software development architecture. There was also time to ask the interviewers questions. We set up an in-person interview for the next day, but be ready to drop whatever plans/work you have because they only gave me one-day notice for the in-person interview. The in-person interview consisted of three parts: general interview with the recruiter; technical interview with a developer in which I had to apply my knowledge on software development architecture; and a combination general/technical interview with two managers in which I had to apply my knowledge of JavaScript and general problem solving, followed by questions about how I would respond to different situations. I received my offer later that day!

Interview
Interviewed a year ago for a Junior Software Engineer position. Process took 2 months, met with multiple people, including a coding challenge, and was told after the last round that they decided to go with an internal candidate. Recruiter was very unprofessional as he was never giving me updates unless I reached out and followed up with multiple emails. Just a shame that you spend so long in a process and have only good interactions with the hiring teams only to end the process like this. Would not recommend... Experience completely at odds with the company's image and so called 'values' on career website. Only giving this opinion to let you know - don't stress or take this process too seriously... recruiter doesn't treat you with respect
A one-hour interview session, with four technical questions and some behavioral questions. Technical questions are standard leetcode easy to medium questions. Some additional technical questions based on resume and fit with their team.

The interview was really easy and they really only asked a few easy questions in the one round of interview. They wanted to know about projects and work stuff from my resume
