Standard flow of recruiter screen -> tech screen (video call with a real person) -> recruiter follow-up -> slate of on-site interviews. The on-site involved two technical interviews, a lunch casual chat with a couple of engineers, and an interview with the CTO. All of the technical interviews were standard DS&A and coding, none of them were domain-specific for the role I was applying for. I was rejected after the onsite. Everyone was very friendly and kind throughout the process. The only odd thing was that my recruiter had a strong preference for calling me instead of emailing, and called me to let me know I'd been rejected as well. I'm guessing this was a cultural difference, and she thought it was kinder not to reject someone impersonally over text? But I would have much preferred to communicate over email.

I took an hour and a half tech test. Then I had another tech screening. Then I had another tech screening. All this before ever being able to talk to anyone at the office where I would be working to see if the job would be a "fit" for me. And then most of that interview also involved tech screening. I really feel I wasted a lot of time, because it wasn't a fit, and I would have liked the opportunity to learn that earlier.
