Stage 1 - 30 minute call with recruiter. Stage 2 - 30 minute call with hiring manager to discuss background and skillset. Stage 3 - Take home challenge, took roughly 2-4 hours to complete with an extra hour for quality checking. They ask you to integrate a LaunchDarkly feature with an external software and provide a mock customer response outlining the solution. Stage 4 - 3 hours of panel interviews with 4 different topics: manager intro, homework review and growth/coachability, technical assessment, culture and values. I was told I did well in all my interviews however an offer was made to someone else. I can confidently conclude it was a well planned interview process and I felt everyone I interviewed with valued my presence and asked great questions to truly find the suitable candidate. I never felt like I wasn't being taken seriously and did not feel discriminated for my age unlike in interviews at other companies in the past. A few days after the rejection I received an email stating they were impressed with my candidacy and I was invited to a private vetted job platform used by their VC investor with a positive referral. Which is something I have never seen before and seems like a valuable addition to my job search so I am very appreciative of the referral. I would happily interview at LaunchDarkly again in the future.

Long but good process Everyone was very friendly Take home test plus in person technical test Culture interview Multiple competency interviews Process was very quick and the team were responsive Overall very positive experience
