I had a really great intro call with the Software Engineering Manager. It ended up being a relaxed chat with personal (product focused) at the start and technical questions at the end. The overall vibe I got was that the company is genuinely trying (and succeeding) to uphold the collaborative and kind culture they currently have with this hiring process (which is impressive for a startup). Anyone applying for this role can expect a pleasant and respectful interview process. The only downside for me was that I didn’t receive much detailed feedback after what felt like a very positive conversation. In my opinion, companies should always try to provide specific feedback when possible. It helps candidates grow and it's one step above the kindness companies show when they send rejection emails. But I did receive a thoughtful email after the interview so it certainly wasn't radio silence.
