The interview process was lengthy but never stressful. It started with an exchange emails with the hiring manager, which was followed by four separate visits to the office for in-person interviews. In total, I interviewed with 11 different people, including multiple interviews with one of the founders. One interview was a skill test. Everyone was incredibly kind, considerate, and focused on the company's values and mission (which is a lot bigger than you might think). It was the people, more than anything, that made me want to join.

I applied online and was contacted by the recruiting team 2 weeks after. I was really excited to chat to the team as I think the product is really smart and I loved the branding. Halfway through, I thought the conversation was going ok, but then the recruiter called me by the wrong name. I went to correct him (as they had mentioned to me addressing people by their preferred names was important to the company) and he very bluntly and quickly denied calling me that name. It was a particularly odd experience. I continued on with the call, but really didn't appreciate the blatant dismissal of me hearing the wrong name. He told me they would have an answer for me by tomorrow, but I ended up only hearing from them 4 days later through email that they wanted to go another direction.
