recruiter screen -> technical interview -> behavioral interview -> hiring manager -> final interview with VP/CEO/COO. the full process can take 4 weeks.
- recruiter screen: 30 min, mostly chatting about the Company and your own experiences
- technical interview: 45 min, with a fellow engineer, casual, asking about your experiences and scenario based technical questions
- behavioral interview: 30 min,with a senior manager, question is what's your most difficult challenge, they also ask a bunch of follow-ups to drill down your answer
- HM interview: 30 min, blend of technical and behavioral questions, they like to ask questions on how you can work fast and under pressure
- VP/CEO/COO: I didn't get to this part unfortunately, but I guess before this point, the hiring decision is already made.
if you are jumping from a fast-paced and high-pressure place, like Tesla, Amazon, Meta, etc., you should be able to answer those behavioral questions pretty well.
