Straightforward. Not too technical, much of it is about fit. Firm has heavy emphasis on networking for their process, you really need a helping hand on the inside to get through.
Overall, a smooth process with basic technical questions and a strong emphasis on culture and fit. Featured 3 interview rounds with a final in-person Superday. Well organized and intentional in their selection.
Application drop to phone screening interview. From there straight to superday. Simple app processes and somehow got pushed thru after no networking and minimal experience. Mostly behavioral questions with simple technicals(400Q).
