Interview process
Easy to interview. Recruiter + director were very nice but tech screen engineer was quite cold. Unique experience with the Ai coding round being the first one.

Tips from the candidate
Learn how to use claude/codex effectively to go through a repo and find bugs. Speak out loud. Make sure you can explain what the AI is doing.
Company culture
I think the thing that stood out to me the most was that the director was super friendly and had been there almost since the company started. AI coding screener was a little cold but not overly so.
