I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Superhuman in Sep 2023
Interview
I recently went through the interview process for the Software Engineer position at this company, and it was incredibly comprehensive and well-structured. The interview process comprised around ten stages, with different people covering technical and non-technical topics. This allowed me to showcase all my knowledge and core skills during all stages that covered algorithmic knowledge, primary software language & platform skills, system design challenge, and behavioral conversations.
The technical sections were challenging, but the interviewers were all very knowledgeable and supportive throughout. Each stage was designed to test my coding skills and problem-solving abilities in a variety of different contexts, which gave me a sense of confidence and satisfaction.
The behavioral conversations were also thorough, allowing me to showcase my communication and teamwork skills, achievements, and "lessons learned." I appreciated how the interviewers asked insightful questions and took the time to get to know me as a person, not just as a candidate.
I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a challenging and rewarding career in software engineering.

1 phone screen -> onsite: 1 coding, 1 system design, and 1 technical deep dive
The initial recruiter call goes over the role and interview process. After the initial phone screen, you get connected with a second recruiter who handles the remaining process (on site, team matching, leveling). For full stack roles, I was given the choice of backend focused coding or system design. Whichever one I didn’t choose for backend would be the frontend focused interview.
The process was overall very efficient and the recruiters were responsive throughout. They also help prepare you for each interview.
