I first had a brief phone interview with the Talent Acquisition team, which was a quick and straightforward conversation. This was followed by a more in-depth and pleasant discussion with the hiring manager. However, after the interview, I did not receive any updates. I followed up with the Talent Acquisition team, and they initially responded that I should expect an update the following week. Despite sending an additional follow-up email to check on the status, I never received any further communication.
Typical recruiter screen in the beginning but then very hectic and weirdly chaotic 3-round hiring manager interview where you had 45 minutes to speak to 3 hiring managers for 15 minutes each. Had no time to communicate what set me apart in such a short time.
It was awkward with the next hiring manager joining on the Zoom call while I was in the middle of saying something. They told me to expect a round with a single hiring manager, so it was misleading.

Interview
The process was straight forward and very casual. You have to come prepared of course, but every step was very conversational and interviewers were transparent throughout the entire process. Great company!!
