Interview
Interviewed during COVID-19 so the process was entirely online. 45 minute phone interview with the hiring manager and a senior engineer. The environment was not very welcoming (from the senior engineer) and the questions were very detailed/confusing. Questions were mostly based on my background. This was my first interview in a while so I'll admit my preparation was poor, but it has been one of the worst experiences I've had for an interview.

Question 1
What are some of the requirements you tested at your previous role?
The interview process was well organized and efficient but it took a long time in receiving responses. I spoke to several team members who asked about various aspects of my resume.

They took time to get to know me, explain the product and describe their expectations

Question 1
Whether I feel comfortable with sometimes being a "kill-joy" to assure that development is not just driven by costs
I spoke with the hiring manager first, and then was invited to interview with the team. The final panel consisted of Zoom interviews (around 45 minutes each) with the hiring manager and team members. It was mostly behavioral with some exercises thrown in to evaluate critical thinking and technical approach. After speaking with the whole team, the recruiter reached out to schedule a call, and then ghosted me mid email thread. Months later got an email that the position was not going to be filled after radio silence from the hiring manager and recruiter.
