Stellar interview process. I have so many positive things to say about it, but to keep it succinct:
- Communication was consistent and professional
- Each step struck the right balance between being substantial yet considerate of everyone's time
- Felt like they wanted me to succeed, compared to other companies where I was treated like an adversary
Individual steps were:
1. Initial interview with recruiting manager for basic context
2. Interview with engineering leader on a variety of topics
3. Live programming test with engineer
4. Take-home programming project
The only drawback is step 3 rewards individuals who are comfortable live programming with strangers, which is a fairly unusual scenario (unless you're a support engineer or [maybe] a content creator). On the other hand, it is an efficient way to time box an interview.
Overall, 10/10 would recommend applying.

This interview review is for a referral, so I can't speak to a more "standard" process. The stages went as follows for me:
1. Call with the Hiring Manager and the Engineering Manager
2. High level technical call with a staff engineer on my team
3. PAID!!!! take home project (this was waived for me due to interview performance and the referral)
4. Call with the VP of engineering as a "get to know you" (I knew I was getting an offer at this point)
5. Offer call to discuss the package
I felt that the interview process was extremely well balanced. I felt as if everyone who interviewed me was deeply invested in both the process and in my potential as a candidate. The technical interview was on a subject I was briefed on in advance so that I had time to review material, and it was a really welcoming conversational tone rather than a gate keeping technical interview.
I felt that my time was very well respected. I didn't need to wait more than a day at any time to hear about a next step or to receive feedback on my performance as a whole.
This was probably the best interview process I have ever taken part in, and that played a significant role in my immediate acceptance of the offer.

For the technical portion, we had a high level conversation about rate limit implementations and how I might go about pursuing an implementation of one in the gatsby tech stack. It was a genuinely enjoyable topic with lots of good back and forth. Gatsby doesn't have any whiteboarding in their tech interview process, which I really appreciate.
