1 initial call with recruiter, 1 call with hiring manager, call with team members (3, including CTO) and final panel exercise (45 mins). Most calls were not heavily technical until the final exercise.

This is probably one of the best interview experiences I have ever had. The team is super friendly, extremely transparent, and very knowledgeable. I first talked to the recruiter, then the hiring manager then met the team, and finally had a 1-hour work session with the team. The whole process was 4 steps across different days, the whole process would have taken 2 weeks had my schedule been more flexible. The company seems to value a good mix of cultural fit (friendly, team workers) with technical knowledge/potential. I got offered a job but had to go in a different direction due to a very strong financial offer elsewhere. The team was super understanding and made the decision tough from the perspective of how nice they were. 10/10 recommend. Keep up this hiring strategy!
