The process took ~6 weeks and included a friendly HR screen, a technical pair-programming session with a senior engineer, a conversation with a director, a panel with lead engineers, and a final presentation to a director on an assigned mini-project. Everyone I met was kind, professional, and communicative, with mostly clear expectations. The process was very long and intensive, and I’d rate the difficulty above average. I didn’t receive an offer but found it a useful, respectful experience overall. The time commitment is substantial and could be hard if you’re already in a demanding job or under time/financial pressure while between roles. Clearer upfront guidance on expected hours and consolidating a round or two would make this more accessible.

The interview process consisted of three interviews. First, a screening interview with an HR representative. This was followed by a regular interview. Third, an interview focused on a case supplied prior to the interview. The case was broad and covered most aspects of building software applications to solve a specific business problem, such as UI, data, architecture, and business value concerns.
