I was initially approached by the HR person at the company on LinkedIn regarding the role. The process then went as follows: 1. Coding screeening 2. Tech interview (1h, focused on engineering and distributed systems) 3. Tech interview (1h, focused on backend engineering, cloud, more distributed systems) 4. Behavioral/culture fit interview (30min, non-tech people) The process itself was quite quick, as I managed to get through it in less than 2 weeks, and could schedule more than one interview in the same day. After a couple of working days, I was told they went for a different candidate. The interview process was overall nice - people were great, friendly, and quite responsive to email communication. Couple of sour points: 1. The tech interviews were essentially reading off of a script of pre-made questions; this is not bad per-se, but it partially killed the vibe of the discussion during the interviews. There are many better ways to segway between different questions seamlessly, rather than a meagre "ok - next question"; 2. After the rejection email - which specified that the interviewers too had a positive experience with my process - I was essentially ghosted by the HR person when asked for any sort of feedback. This significantly lowered my appreciation for the company and the process, from a positive experience to overall neutral.

It concerned my case 5 rounds: - Informal talk with CTO. - A live coding session. - Technical interview part 1 - Technical Iinterview part 2 - A cultural fit interview. Each conversation was with 1 or 2 different people.
