Had phone screen scheduled and met with the recruiter. We talked about my skills, experience, and why I’m interested in the role. They said they would get back to me 1 1/2 weeks for an interview if they think I’m fit. I didn’t get an email back so that’s as far it goes for the interview process.

Interview
Interview process took about a month which was communicated from the beginning of the interview process. HR representative was super transparent helpful through each step.
Three interviews total - phone screen, technical interview, and panel interview. You prepare your code ahead of time for the technical interview. Panel interview was a bit challenging, but they ask really thoughtful questions to get a sense of who you are and how you work.

Interview
I had an easy time applying to Mathematica. The process was transparent throughout and I was treated with respect the whole way through. It started with a phone screening where the gave an overview of what the application process was. I always knew what the next step was and about how long I would have to wait to hear back. At first I had applied for a different position that I didn't get; rather than ghost me or send a boiler plate email, the recruiter from the company called me to tell me--I thought this was very considerate.
In the end, because it seemed like a good company, I re-applied for a similar position (they were flexible about that and didn't make me redo an assessment from the last time I applied) and ended up getting it.
In the interviews themselves, people were kind and welcoming. I didn't ever feel like someone was trying to grill me or ask me a trick question.
