Phone screen with recruiter.
Technical assessment.
One-on-one with engineering manager.
Team interview with several engineering managers and team members.
Everything actually went really well throughout the interview process. It seemed like a perfect fit.
The reason I'm leaving a negative review is because nCino revoked my offer just 6 days before my start date... AFTER I drove across the country to a city where I don't know anybody for this job. nCino rescinded the offer due to an inaccurate background check report. I sent them all the necessary documentation to prove the results were inaccurate... but they revoked anyway. They left me waiting in limbo for nearly two weeks before they OFFICIALLY revoked the offer.
After receiving a copy of my background report, I found out that nCino had the results of said background check for 10-11 days BEFORE notifying me... which means they sat on these results for almost TWO WEEKS before giving me an opportunity to cancel my UHaul and moving plans. Before driving across the country I tried to contact the recruiter to ensure everything was good--updated him on my departure date from my home state--and heard nothing back. They had every opportunity to notify me BEFORE I spent nearly $1000 on the move to let me know that the offer might be revoked... but they didn't.
I have never been so disgusted with how a company has handled an HR issue before. And now I'm unemployed in Wilmington, NC, unable to afford another major move for the foreseeable future, and trying to make things work here.
I am grateful they rescinded the offer because this kind of mismanagement and disregard for the well-being of a person speaks volumes about the underlying culture of a company.

Entrevista
My interview experience was in line with what has been said by many others on this platform.
I was initially given a phone screen, after which I was assigned a coding assessment via Codility. The assessment consisted of 4 programming challenges that were to be solved within a set time limit (for me it was an hour and 30 minutes, others have reported different times). The questions aren't terrible, but they will make you think about the problems. One of them was particular to Angular, so brush up on that if you can.
After the coding test, I was asked to do an interview with one of the engineering managers via zoom. This involved about an hour's worth of behavioral questions and some more discussion about company culture.
Finally, I was asked to do a group interview via zoom, where I was given a mix of behavioral, technical, and design questions. The interview was about 3 hours long and I found the final section to be pretty tough, but the team makes you feel at ease and are very easy to talk to.
Everyone I spoke with was very pleasant and helpful, and I got the impression they would all be great people to work with.
