Colloquio
I originally applied online. Process took a while because of poor planning. Within a few days I had an email to set up a call with the hiring manager. Quick call to talk about the position. Within a week I had a phone interview with a lead engineer with a tech portion. Pretty standard stuff. Easy questions. I was then sent another email to have a follow up regarding that but it was set for a week from the interview. If you're going to do a follow up make it closer to the interview so it's fresh on the candidate's mind.
That call set up an on-site for the following monday, a whole week later. But that's all I knew just monday, no time, no location, no floor number, nothing. I was told that would come in an email Google calendar invite. I got nothing all week. By Friday I had to email the hiring manager so I would those details. No apology just the Cal invite.
Interview was 3 hours with 3 different engineers from different departments. At no point was I told which department I was being concidered for. I was told I would hear one way or the other by friday. It's been 2 weeks since that interview and I've emailed and called the Hiring Manager and have nothing. I took an offer elsewhere.
Not sure why people thing it's acceptable to ghost candidates after they spend time and take time off to interview with you. It's completely unprofessional and rude. Not only was I not told anything, but also my emails and calls where ignored.
Very disappointed in this company's professionalism. Would have declined if I did get an offer.

I had the first meeting which was with their recruiter. In this meeting they share detailed information about the company and the position and allow for me to ask questions I had about the position. Afterwards they asked about my experience.

Colloquio
Overall, it was a very positive interview process with good communication and very engaged interviewers.
First step was a 90 minute take-home code challenge with three parts: a relatively easy algorithm, a database query, and an API request with JSON parsing.
Next step was 3, 1-hour interview sessions:
- Engineering manager interview, part behavioral and part live code challenge (easy/medium leetcode)
- Lead Engineer interview: half was a code challenge (build a binary search tree), which is very hard if, like me, you don't have a CS degree and haven't done enough grinding on leetcode yet. But the interviewer was super helpful and made it more of a pairing session instead of watching me flounder.
The other half was system design (a craigslist of sorts).
- Interview with Director of Engineering that was part behavioral and part database and architectural, with questions around AWS S3.
