Interview process was as follows: - Chat with recruiter (15min) - Chat with a team lead (30min) - Take home challenge (got told it is quick to do and not to spend much time on it, but if you take it seriously it will take at least a few hours) - Technical / System Design Interview (~1.25hrs) - Chat with VP Engineering / SVP Engineering / Product lead (30min) - Chat with CEO/CTO (30min) - Finally, background check + 3 (!!) references In my opinion the interview process is far too long and requires a massive time commitment from the interviewer. You will be repeating yourself and answering the same questions in most interviews, I think it could definitely be shortened. A couple times throughout I asked the recruiter what was left in the process and didn't get a clear answer. Then when I reached what I thought was the end, I would get told we "just had to pass the next stage". I think Deputy could be more transparent with the length of the process at the start. Aside from this, none of the rounds were particularly difficult and the recruiter was super helpful and kept in touch actively through the process. I enjoyed meeting the people at Deputy, I definitely felt like it was a place I would like working and get along with my co-workers.
