Scheduled a screening interview over the phone with the recruiter. She called on time but was audibly annoyed and irritated from start to finish. She came across as angry with actually having to speak with me. What should have been an easy interview (I was literally a perfect match to the listed qualifications) was a terrible experience that left me wondering what the actual hiring criteria were.

A very long process optimized for candidates who can go through a very long, drawn out process, not necessarily for the best candidates. First, there is a coding assessment they want you to spend three hours on. Then a recruiter interview followed by a hiring manager interview. Then a take-home project they want you to block off five (!) hours for. Then a presentation in front of five junior and senior technical members of the team . That's the gateway to four more interviews. The bright spot in the interview process is that the recruiter was great in communicating, and very helpful in the process, and there was personal feedback at the end. The fact there was feedback was helpful, the actual feedback was too generalized and dismissive to be helpful.
