The interview process started with a recruiter screen, then a 1-hour technical assessment, half-day then final leadership call.
Was a pretty interesting experience. Recruiter didn't just walk through my resume, we had a good convo on things I like/didn't like etc.
This place is super into TDD and pairing which was interesting. Pairign isn't for everyone. It's also a pretty language agnostic shop, you might work with stuff

- Interview rubric is very specific, they are looking for a traditional TDD process: Write only the smallest test to satisfy the requirement, write only the code needed to make the test pass, refactor, repeat.

We also did more full stack outside-in TDD involving writing E2E test first, then moving into the layers of the stack.

Interview was terrible. Promised "language agnostic". Got Java only. "Pairing" was watching them type everything. Seeking homogenous culture. Expected to think exactly like the interviewer which is ridiculous. No requirements. Interviewer couldn't even see the problem of how bad the lack of requirements are as I constantly pointed out inconsistencies. Bad setup for the class which relies on poor design choices and echo chamber, group think.
Was expected to attend 3 hour "pairing session" after this part. Which sounds like they don't respect their Staff's schedules as they were open to any time for this crazy long session.
Overall, nothing went well. I dodged a bullet in all likely hood.

"How do you do this thing exactly like I would with no requirements and a language you don't use". Oh yea, but it's all language agnostic because we say so.
