The interview process was simple and efficient. The main focus was a take-home challenge that could be finished in a week. Then the next steps were two additional interviews with team members.

Interview
I applied online via LinkedIn. I was contacted 4 days after applying. The first interview was a phone screen with a Talent Manager. The phone screen involved both technical questions about technologies in the job description and personality questions. Later that day, I was given a coding challenge that I had 1 week to complete. It involved building a card game in Python. The assignment felt like a good assessment of how one would solve real on-the-job problems with well-structured code. I found it to be way more fun than the coding challenges assigned by other companies I applied to. My submission was accepted and I had a final round of back to back interviews a few days later. The first of those interviews was focused on my personality, high-level experience, how I think and how I work others. The second interview was a deeper dive into my technical experience. It also included some code assessment questions and a short live coding question in Python. I received an offer a few days after the final interview. Overall, the process was very fast and felt like a good assessment of my skills and how I would fit on the team. The team was very nice and communication was very straightforward throughout the process. I am accepting the offer.
