The interview process consisted of a phone screen, portfolio/case study review, live whiteboard exercise, exercise dive-in, and conversation with PM. All of the interviews happened in a period of 15 days. Feedback was given at all times and without long delays. The only tricky thing was the two hours live whiteboard exercise (1 hours) with a dive-in (1 hour). The most interesting white boarding exercise I did, but later in the day to accommodate Seattle based team members — still, pretty interesting and challenging.

The first screening was way too intense and felt like an interrogation. I've been used to normal screenings where the interviewer makes you feel comfortable and asks you general questions. In my call, the interviewer was very cold and abrupt, she jumped straight into scenario based questions which caught me so off guard. I got through that round, and in the 2nd interview with the hiring manager, he said he has been in non-stop meeting for the entire day and visibly looked tired and not engaged. Again, the interview style felt more like an interrogation but I feel like I answered all the questions well. Never heard back, but probably for the best, interview process was intense and a bit too scripted than it needed to be.
