Wellington, WellingtonPosted Nov 2021 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

The overall process took a long stretch of time, and it was structured in three clear stages: a call interview, a technical interview, and then a team fit stage.

I remember thinking the timeline—around three to four weeks—was a bit of a marathon, but the people running the conversations were genuinely good.

Across the rounds, the main feeling was that the interviewers were competent and engaged rather than just going through motions. The process didn’t feel adversarial, even though it stretched out. By the end, I had respect for how the team fit part was handled, even if the wait itself tested my patience.
