Definitely an involved process! My interview process took place over ~1 month and involved 5 skype interviews after my initial recruiter screening call, and culminated in an onsite case study presentation + demo. Despite the longer process and the amount of time you need to dedicate to it, this is an amazing and extremely supportive/welcoming process. My recruiter was communicative, friendly, and available whenever I had a quick question. My hiring manager truly wanted me to succeed, and dedicated time to answering my questions and giving me feedback to help me nail the final demo. My demo coach was willing to meet outside of normal work hours to accommodate my restraints from my current job. My advice: take advantage of your demo coach(es)! Engage them in your preparation early and often. They have great insight and are there to help you have the best possible presentation.

A recruiter reached out to me multiple times, and when I finally took the call, it turned out to be a standard placement conversation as they’re currently hiring SEs across several teams. After a 30 minute screening, during which I clearly stated my location, the recruiter informed me that all new SE hires are required to follow a mandatory hybrid in-office schedule. Despite knowing I don’t live near a major office, they said I would need to relocate before proceeding with the interview process. Never heard back after the first meeting.
