This is probably one of the best interview experiences I have ever had. The team is super friendly, extremely transparent, and very knowledgeable. I first talked to the recruiter, then the hiring manager then met the team, and finally had a 1-hour work session with the team. The whole process was 4 steps across different days, the whole process would have taken 2 weeks had my schedule been more flexible. The company seems to value a good mix of cultural fit (friendly, team workers) with technical knowledge/potential. I got offered a job but had to go in a different direction due to a very strong financial offer elsewhere. The team was super understanding and made the decision tough from the perspective of how nice they were. 10/10 recommend. Keep up this hiring strategy!

1 initial call with recruiter, 1 call with hiring manager, call with team members (3, including CTO) and final panel exercise (45 mins). Most calls were not heavily technical until the final exercise.
