I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Formlabs (Raleigh, NC)
Interview
3 phone interviews with technical folks - discussed past projects and they seemed to go well. Had an in person interview that was mixed. Most of the folks I talked to were easy to talk to and most of the discussion was pretty technical about how would I solve XYZ. But their lead technical guy was super awkward to talk to on the phone and in person. And he was condescending during the interview. Hopefully I'm a one-off example, otherwise I can't imagine working there.

Question 1
You'll discuss either past or current problems and how you would approach/solve.
HR interview then team interview and technical assessment. Emphasized company status too much (tried to compare themselves to Apple or Google). Technical assessment was based on an application that the team had clearly worked through for a long time.

Interview
There are three levels of interviews, this was level one where I spoke to someone from HR. It was fast paced with very little small talk, asked tailored questions to my resume and very specific about the role.

Interview
Not super technical but quite a lot of follow-up questions to challenge your quick judgement ability.
Also a lot of rounds which I found odd because I only had to answer basic behavioural questions every single time.
