Friend gave me a referral. They got back to me 2 weeks later. I had a call with the HM. She was late. Constantly kept interrupting me after asking me a question. If she had shut her mouth and allowed me to get my point across, it would've made a lot more sense. Felt she had extremely poor communication skills and emotional intelligence. Also felt she was a micromanager from asking about her management style. I felt irritated just talking to her and wanted to leave the interview. Got an automated rejection after a week. Honestly relieved because I wouldn't have been able to tolerate such disrespectful way to talking to direct report.

The interview process begins with an initial recruiter call to assess your background, experience, and general fit for the role. This is followed by a 60-minute conversation with the hiring manager, which typically dives deeper into your skills, past work, and alignment with the team’s goals. If you progress, the final stage is an onsite interview consisting of multiple rounds with different team members, where you’ll be evaluated across technical and behavioral dimensions. Notably, the process has recently changed so that the Jam session—often a collaborative, hands-on exercise—is now conducted during the onsite rather than earlier in the process.
