I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tonal (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2021
Interview
Process was 3 rounds. Spoke with the HR manager first, then spoke with the ME hiring manager, and then did a virtual 2 hour interview (broken into 4 30 minute interviews with 3 managers and 1 teammate).
Overall the process went pretty smoothly. They were in constant contact with me the entire time for making sure interview times were good and were flexible with scheduling them.
