Normal interview process. Start with a phone call with HR, then second interview is with hiring manager, then with team, and finally with CEO. No issues and very friendly. Interviews were never rescheduled or late, and I have had that happen with other companies.

Entrevista
Applied online and received invite for phone screen about 2.5 weeks later. Here is the process I went through:
1. Initial invite to hr phone screen
This call caught me off guard as I'm used to just going through my experience and why I'm looking. However, in this case Sphero really wants to make sure you fit their values for inclusion, collaboration, and team work. The recruiter talked briefly about sober and then asked me behavioral questions for about 15 minutes. Typical scenarios like "tell me about a time when you had to work with a team..."
There were also a questions about my definition of inclusion and why I'm interested in Sphero.
2. Received positive feedback the next day and setup video interview with hiring manager.
This occurred within a few days of the phone screen. The conversation was relaxed and 2 sided. There were a mix of behavioral questions and then experience related questions. For example, describe a time where you debugged and solved a really tough problem.
Learned great info about day to day operations and hiring manager agreed I was good fit and to advance to next step.
3. Received positive feedback from hr about hiring manager interview same day and scheduled team video interview.
The team video interview occurred the next week and was a 45-60 minute zoom call. There were 3 interviewers from the firmware team, a EE and 2 Firmware engineers.
4. At this point the next step is either an offer or a decline. The recruiter stated they would follow up 2 days after team interview and I received a message stating the need more time due to vacations.

Typical behavioral questions about time working on a team or time a project wasn't successful. There was also a question on inclusion and diversity and how I view those issues
Hiring manager asked a few more behavioral questions and experience questions. Describe a time when you solved a challenging problem or a time when you had a disagreement with someone. Describe a challenging problem you debugged and solved or didn't solve and process to solve it.
Technical interview asked coding questions like:
Give a code snippet, what does this function do and what are some issues?
Given a code solution that works but sometimes crashes, point out flaws and issues and how you would fix them or why they're a problem
The process was very relaxed; I met with multiple people from the team individually and was asked questions about my prior experiences. You start with a phone interview and then are invited on site.
