First round was a classic recruiter screen. Then, I moved to a hiring manager interview that included a live test. Nothing too technical, focused on critical thinking and general tech knowledge. I thought I did good, as I got good feedback from the manager during the interview. I even asked if I missed anything and was told that no, that my answers were great. I received a rejection a few days later, zero explanations. When I asked for feedback, I was ignored.

After an initial call with the recruiter, I had an interview with the team lead, then four hour-long individual panel interviews with various team members and the director. All interviews were led through Zoom, where each was focused around a different topic, and included an interactive writing/coding exercise conducted through CoderPad (e.g. how you'd doc a sample feature) as well as time allotted for general discussion and questions. Interviewers were professional, and the format kept the panels interesting and germane to the position. The entire process was quick and relatively frictionless. All scheduling was coordinated through the recruiter, who was in communication with me the entire time, and organized through a single (and very useful) Guide-based candidate page.
