Interview first with HR and then with team. Team seemed to be good people, was questions about mostly about architecture, observability and troubleshooting. Overall was a good interview process, but maybe some questions were to specific to their tech stack.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Form3 in Apr 2022
Interview
A recruiter from Form3 approached me and we had a brief call. Very friendly and gave me detailed feedback after every interview step. After that there was technical assignment very well structured. You are invited to a Github repo and everything is setup. You just have to follow instructions and commit your implementation. Then there were three technical interviews - Assignment Review - Network interview - On-call interview The first one was the easiest and the interviewer was the friendliest of all. In the second one I had to wait for 10' until eventually the interviewer showed up and started asking me questions about computer science and networks in general. Not very pleasant interview and I would suggest to prepare for an exam like questions. The third was about solving a hypothetical problem with someone from the team. And some behavioral, cultural questions. Not the greatest of experience as the interviewer presented a full system and asks the candidate to debug it in less that 10'. I got a feedback after 3-4 days and had a call with the recruiter giving me a more detailed feedback. Overall, the process was straight forward and the recruiter made it easier. Kind of disappointed by the feedback it felt like the some of the interviewers didn't spend actual time to prepare and didn't respect my time also.
