I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at MX (Lehi, UT)
Interview
The interviews are devoid of process. If they have one, it definitely isn't apparent. Every time I asked "what are the steps from here?" no one seemed to know. That could be because it's a small company and they still haven't figured it out, but it also seems likely as part of the company culture. They definitely seem to thrive in an environment where nothing is planned in advance.
I had three interviews all together and a lunch with the engineers. The questions were simple, and mostly to gauge my experience and interests. It seems like they look more for people who fit into their culture rather than those with a lot of experience. The whole process was very chill and random, usually with a week before the next contact about the next interview.
While the company seems to have a great outlook and a vision for a product they truly believe in, and that I also believe in, it really boiled down to a few things.
1. Their team dynamic just seemed really different and didn't give me a sense of worth like some other companies did. While their interview questions were easy, I got the feeling like they were asking "are you up to the challenge of proving yourself?" instead of "do you feel like you can contribute to this great cause? If so, we would love to have you and we will be there supporting you in our mutual success." While some of you may like that, I definitely didn't like the idea of a constant "proving grounds" as my workplace.
2. The offer they gave me was actually insulting more than anything. It was over 60% lower than what other places in the area are offering and that's what REALLY gave me the feeling of not wanting to work there. If they didn't value the talents and experience that I had to offer to the company enough that they couldn't even give me a competitive offer, then I knew they wouldn't value me as an employee. If you actually care about what you're getting paid, then I give you this knowledge to gauge whether or not you should take the time to work here.
All in all, the experience was random and long. The offer was absolutely dreadful. The company itself seems really awesome and I really like their product. I think I could have been persuaded to join them if the offer was competitive with the market and my experience, but there are other companies with similar benefits that offer more to their employees.
Disappointing interview experience.
The entire process took almost two months.
Three separate interviews, one with the Lead, one with multiple panels, and then another round of executive panels.
Then they ghost you.
For a company that boasts about their culture and their internal work environment, the way they treat interviewees is backwards.
One of the worst interview experiences I’ve had so far. The whole process took two months, three interviews, seven people, and only one technical question.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Lots of culture questions.
They like to bring up their company values. Which again, seem backwards, since they don't treat you the same.

Interview
One of the worst interview experiences I’ve had so far. The whole process took two months, three interviews, seven people, and only one technical question.
After drilling you on company culture, they will ghost you for several weeks and give you zero feedback. You will feel insecure and wonder what it was about your personality they disliked so much. Or, maybe it was just that you got that one technical question wrong? What about all of the other cool technical stuff you do know that they never asked about?
So misleading and inconsiderate.
I applied online. I interviewed at MX (Lehi, UT) in Jan 2021
Interview
A series of zoom interviews with 1-2 people over the course of a few weeks. Some technical questions and lots of culture and mentality questions. No whiteboard questions were asked.
