Applied online, went over basic details about my resume and the position with the recruiter, and setup an initial behavioral interview with the hiring manager. The behavioral interview started off standard, going over the company, team, role, etc. The HM asked four questions (I did not sign an NDA): 1. What are you looking for in your next role, manager, and company. 2. What was something you recently broke. 3. (Not exact wording) Tell me a bout a time you had to communicate, and what was both good and bad about said communication. 4. Tell me about a technical challenge you faced. Spent the last 5-10 minutes asking questions. Almost verbatim the, HM would for each question, go: HM: "Are you ready for the next question?" HM: "" ME: My answer ... HM: "Thanks for sharing that with me, I appreciate that." HM: "" HM: "Does that sound right?" ME: "Yes/No/Add some follow up details." Repeat... Overall the interviewer was respectful and attentive, but if anything, on the disinterested side. The structure of the interview was fine, but there was virtually no back and forth or follow up questions -- very contrived and robotic. Like they could have been substituted by an AI or a questionnaire instead. Got timely feedback in the next couple of days, and was rejected. Recruiter provided (appreciated) feedback that I "did not go into depth" with some/all of my answers. Maybe my answers were not great. Certainly possible. But personally, I think (good) interviewers should help the interviewee fill in gaps with at least some level follow ups.

First a call with a recruiter Then a call with a hiring manager Next a technical collab Finally the final round of interviews which consisted of of a system design interview, leadership interview, hiring manager interview, and two coding challenges I struggled with technical collab and system design interview but everyone in those interviews were helpful Overall, everyone was super friendly
