A couple interviews followed by a take-home assignment (I could choose between three different topics). The last interview was about reviewing the assignment. The people interviewing me were very nice and welcoming.

Talked with the CTO and really enjoyed it and made me interested in the company. Then the technical interviews happened and it went downhill. There's 5 technical rounds which is a huge waste of everyone's time. First there is a timed hacker rank problems to solve which were not difficult but trivial. Then you have a technical high level interview with some engineers, a whiteboarding interview, a take home assignment, then a follow up to the take home. So you're looking at like 1 month of interviews already. I was extremely turned off after the first 2 technical interviews, as I think that was enough to assess my qualifications but it just kept going. The technical interviews were also pretty nerve wrecking as you would have 1 engineer doing the talking and the other mostly sitting in silence, all over a zoom call. They made 0 effort to really get to know me outside of my technical skills and I was pretty much uncomfortable for every interview. I also just found it odd they wouldn’t do the take home assignment first since that is the closest thing to seeing how someone works.
