I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Axios in Dec 2022
Interview
6 rounds of interviews and a take home assessment. First a screening with the hiring manager, if that goes well then a take home assessment and if that goes well then 5 back to back interviews.
The take home assessment which is expected to be completed in 4 hours but will probably take longer. Then the remaining 5 interviews are with different members of the organization and team: behavioral, product, technical (coding challenge), quality assurance and system design. The interviewers were nice and very understanding through the whole process.
Overall, the process is too long for what they were looking for.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Axios (Washington, DC) in Mar 2023
Interview
1. An introduction interview. 2. A coding exercise to do from home. 3. A power-day of interviews, covering: * behavioral * product focus, with a product owner * quality focus, with a quality engineer * live coding * system design and architecture. Their employees were very friendly. Their recruiter did an excellent job of communicating with me throughout the process. I thought I did very well, but they chose not to extend an offer.

Design a system that delivers subscription emails.
The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Axios in Jun 2022
Interview
Started with a brief talk with Technical recruiter just a review of resume and making sure I could speak intelligibly.
Then a typical "Tell me about a time ..." discussion with the Engineering Manger.
The technical screen (as of June 2022) is run by Qualified. It consisted of 3 questions and I had two hours to complete the task. The first question was a medium medium/easy LeetCode style question. It was a simplified real world question. The second questions was a fairly straight forward SQL query (but without direct access to the tables, just some automated tests). And the last question was a pretty straight-forward series of list manipulations.
