Standard phone screen with recruiter, asking about work history. Recruiter thought I would be a good fit and sent a hacker rank assignment.

- 30 minutes with product team (1:2)
- 30 minutes with SE Director (1:1)
- 45 minutes with SEs (1:2) (review HackerRank)
- 1 hour with SEs (1:2) (structural design question)
Technical exercise was fun and not too challenging. Pseudo Code / chatting was all they requested.
Product team interview consisted of “tell me about a project where X and how did you handle it” situational type questions. They also asked how I felt about pair programming and my experience mentoring.
The rest were pretty standard. (Why active campaign. What do you want to continue learning, etc)
Overall, everyone was very friendly. 3 days after the final interview, I was called and told the position is no longer available due to the new year and head count adjustment. This was, obviously, aggravating. Hopefully this doesn’t happen to you and they won’t waste your
