I applied online and the recruiter got back to me. Then a live coding + behavioral round with the hiring manager. You pair with the hiring manager on debugging and optimizing a function. Then standard behavioral questions. The whole process was fast and transparent.
Recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn and had a phone screen before moving forward to the technical round. The technical round was not about leetcode style questions but a pair coding exercise. The question is not difficult. However, I am not familiar with this type of interview process.

First round was a code review/debug session, followed by some behavioral questions about past experience.
Onsite was a technical round, a behavioral, and a project deep dive.
Final CEO round was a huge red flag to me. Company asks you to share your personal life story. Heavy elements of bias, discrimination, nosiness, and unprofessionalism.
Culture feels like a cult. Extremely white from my conversations, and from a quick glance at their leaders that's clear as well. Stay away if you are POC. Pride themselves on not being a normal tech company. CEO is a bit of an egomaniac. Glad for them that it's seemed to work out so far.
Ultimately this interview process tested close to nothing of technical value, and was more about culture fit and behavioral questions. If you are not super enthusiastic about dbt, don't consider applying.
Outside of dbt core, not a high technical bar.
Pay is low relative to tech hubs, but very competitive for a remote-first company.
