I went through 5 steps in the interview process: 1. HR call – initial screening. 2. Head of Engineering + Senior Engineer interview (Teams, ~30 min, personal/technical questions). 3. Home assignment – LeetCode-style, ~3 hours, 3 questions (easy–mid level). 4. On-site technical interview – 2 hours, included a logic problem, an algorithm question, and a system design task. 5. Cultural interview – with Director of Production & Project Management. Overall experience: The entire team was professional, respectful, and friendly. I never felt disrespected or “grilled,” and the interviewers created a positive atmosphere throughout. Downside: The process took about a month to complete. While I understand the importance of thorough screening, some steps felt like they could have been combined or streamlined to save time for both the candidate and the company. Conclusion: A fair and professional process with kind interviewers, but a bit too lengthy.
