Justworks Engineering Manager Interview Experience

Interview process
The interviewers were prepared, were all very nice except for one of them. I think by the last round during the onsite they probably made up their mind on not to hire me, I got the feeling. If they had decided that, I think it's better to not waster both their time and mine.

Recruiter screen
They'll ask about a situation you experienced that is relevant to the team you are applying for and they'll ask for more details. You don't need to be technical since this is only a recruiter call, just the situation and impact is sufficient from what I understand.

Online assessment
CodeSignal assessment - 4 coding questions that is related to bank accounts with increasing difficulty with each question. It'll be very difficult to finish them all in time but try your best. I didn't get a perfect score but got three of them fully right.

Tips from the candidate
Read through Glassdoor reviews, all the questions are available there, I didn't get anything different.
Company culture
Can't really comment on this much since it's difficult to judge this just based on the process I went through
