The best interview process I ever experienced in my career. Screening interview: the recruiter spend about 10 minutes telling me about the company, and only then started asking questions - most recruiters do it the other way round. Coding exercise: pair programming in Java, in a shared IntelliJ screen with one of the Senior Software Engineers. Not too difficult but was a good chance to demonstrate TDD and Clean Code practices. In the end spent some time discussing the possible performance optimisations. Culture interview: conversation with a Director of Engineering about past experience, design approaches, choice of technologies, team work etc. Systems Design interview with a Staff Engineer. Given a non-trivial problem, had to design database schema and a distributed application, discussing pros and cons of different approaches. After a positive feedback, had two interviews with team leaders which I could potentially join. Then had the opportunity to choose one of them. Declined the offer at a late stage because of a different offer, but overall the experience was very positive!

Multi step process that included a series of interviews with local and national leaders. Fairly standard for a health care start-up, no big surprises along the way. Positive experience overall. Offered the job but went another way.
