I applied to SDVI after seeing a listing on StackOverflow Jobs. Since there wasn't a huge amount of information available, I wasn't sure what to expect, but after my first conversation with them, I got a lot more interested.
Overall, the application/interview process went like this:
- Initial 1-hour interview with one person: a friendly, high-level discussion. I was invited to ask all the questions I wanted about SDVI.
- Two 90-minute technical interviews, each with two interviewers. One of these involved a Coderpad session and the second included a mock code review through a s shared Github project. Plenty of back-and-forth discussion, challenging questions and more opportunities for me to ask about SDVI.
- A one-week take-home project. They invited me to a special Slack channel so I could communicate with the whole team during this time. This was so I could ask questions, kick around ideas, etc. At the end of the week, I had a 90-minute design/code review and in-depth discussion with ten people.
- Interviews with the CEO, head of Product, and CTO.
- Background and reference checks.
Overall, this was the most thorough screening I have ever received when applying for a job. It was challenging and kept me on my toes, but I had to respect it because it made sense: Every part had a clear purpose, and there wasn't any busywork or trick questions. I found the interviewers to be smart, friendly and fair. Although it took some real effort on my part, it was a positive experience and my feelings shifted pretty quickly from neutral to hoping it would work. In the end, they made me a generous offer that I was happy to accept.

Plenty of questions about my background, programming language constructs, engineering design scenarios, code/design critiques, etc. Several times, I felt challenged to ask questions as smart as the ones I was getting. The one-week Slack session was an all-around, "Let's see how you run with the pack" exercise. I can't imagine how a candidate could "fake it" through all of that.

Entrevista
The interview process was quite lengthy with many sessions, technical reviews, and a take home project. The project description lead to expectations that were not followed which was my downfall.

Entrevista
After an hour long intro call, I was asked to live code for an hour and a half, solving a recursive problem looking at finding a key in a js object of n-depth.
Interviewer makes sure to use language like "we don't want to miss out on you" to make you think they really want you, yet they asked me no questions about my background unless promoted.
All their software engineers have engineering degrees, so unless you have one, you're wasting your time here.
