Met with the recruiter for a 15-20 min conversation where they mostly read through a script. Great conversation with the Director and then a coding challenge. The coding challenge is explained to be straight forward and I was told that I would meet with an engineer after the exercise. I solved the problem but then a week later got the generic one sentenced email that they were not moving forward. I reached out for feedback and never heard back. I personally think it's poor form for a company to have a candidate invest so much time in a challenge and then provide no feedback.

The process was divided into 5 different interviews. The first one was a phone screen, the second interview was with an engineering manager in ActiveCampaign. The third and fourth were all performed in the same day, split into one hour interviews each. The first part of this interview was solving a coding assessment supervised by two software engineers, while the second part was a 1hr conversation with two other software engineers. Some topics discussed in this conversation were monolith & microservice architectures, previous work experience, personal projects, relevant experience in different technologies (kubernetes, golang, php, ember, typescript/javascript), pros and cons of adopting certain technologies (i.e. gRPC, microservices over monoliths or the inverse, GraphQL, etc.)
