Overall it was a very nice interview process for me. I interviewed in June 2022. I was a little worried seeing how some previous reviews went, but overall the experience was very positive.
1) I applied online and received an email the next day to schedule a phone screen.
2) I talked to a recruiter for about 15 minutes about my general background, what I'm interested in, why I'm looking. Overall, a very pleasant discussion.
3) I then was invited to schedule an interview with the manager of the team hiring. This was all conversation based with no technical questions. Just going over my background in depth and general HR questions. This lasted about 45 minutes. I was impressed with how fun the conversation was.
4) I was invited to schedule 2 more interviews (I think in the past these were together). There was a behavioral and technical interview, each an hour long.
4.1) The behavior interview was conversation based as well and was pretty easy. We talked about my approach to learning and general questions about how I go about challenges. This went well.
4.2) The technical did not have any coding. This was also conversational based and talked in depth about my resume and my technical experience. We talked about what I did in my current role and the interviewers asked questions directed towards my current work. Some of these questions caught me off guard and I missed some sub questions that were asked.
5) Surprisingly, 2 days later I got an offer via the recruiter and a few days after that I accepted.
Overall, this was a very pleasant interview process. All interviews were conversation based which was very cool. Perhaps previous reviewers got different recruiters or got lost in the automated aspects of the process. Scheduling, next steps, etc. are all automated so I suppose people could be missed or something. The whole process from application to offer was about 2 weeks.
