I’ve had a screening video call, where I was told that selection process consists of following steps: 1) Introductory interview 2) Short intro assignment consisting of two open-ended questions (listed in a separate section below) 3) Tech interview 4) Technical assignment - estimated by the interviewer to take beween 6-8 hours of candidate’s time (way too long in my opinion) 5) Interview with department director My application was rejected after step 2, and I was informed that the team concluded my answers didn’t match their need for the position. Rejection contained generic reason that didn’t explain what exactly was wrong with my answers. Even if I had passed onto the following steps, I would have withdrawn my application, because technical assignment would take too much of my time. One other thing - I was informed that WFH is not supported, but that position is hybrid (if I recall correctly, 3 days from office). However parking spot is not provided, and workers are expected to pay out-of-pocket for their own parking. This I consider not be be fair, since they insist on coming to office.

The interview process included an initial screening, followed by a written assignment documenting past product decisions. I then had an interview to discuss the exercise and explain a technical concept, followed by an interactive exercise requiring me to meet challenging SLAs. The next stage involved discussing the exercise results and my leadership approach. The final stages consisted of interviews to discuss the company's vision and alignment. Overall, very smooth and interesting process. Timely feedback was provided at each stage.
