Interview
A recruiter contacted me to interview for a role. We scheduled a video call with the hiring manager and engineer. We went over my resume, focusing on a couple of critical points. I asked a few "reverse interview" questions, and the engineer had a hard time answering them, so I had to provide hints. This was a red flag for me. I think the overall interview process was smooth but not polished.

Thank you for your feedback. I would certainly be interested in hearing more about your 'reverse interview' questions. Feel free to reach out to me at adonye.orumbie@gettyimages.com

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Getty Images (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2019
Interview
First a phone interview with an online, shared screen coding question. Next, 3 hours of in-person questions and coding exercises with different groups of people. The coding questions weren't particularly difficult, but apparently they were evaluating me on paired coding ability. This was something they did NOT express to me (or it was not made clear, if they did), nor did they make any effort to nudge me in that direction. Essentially became a "gotcha" moment... Too bad they wasted half a day of my time in the process.
