I was first pitched by the CEO on LinkedIn then was pinged by their recruiter a couple months later. The first phone call was with the VP of Engineering, who's very patient and kind to answer all my hard questions. We talked about 20 mins and he helped me schedule a phone screen with their front end engineer because they're looking for front end guys. The phone screen was kinda tough because I haven't been doing algorithm exercises for a while. But the interviewer was nice and happy to work through the strategy with me for the whole 45 mins. They were satisfied to bring me in. Before going into the onsite round I stopped by one of their tech talk about the backend tools they're using. I could tell the strength of their engineering team so I decided to give it a shot. The onsite day was a bit intense. I spent about 5 hours there and spoke one to one with their engineering team. These people all have very decent background and very good communication skills. They asked tough but open-ended questions, which required not only solid CS knowledge but also good intuition (or experience in a different sense). Luckily I got the offer very soon and after some negotiation I accepted the job.
