One intro conversation, one hands on coding interview, one systems design interview, and one "company fit" interview with leadership. Overall not too long and pretty quick turnaround. The questions weren't too difficult for an experienced engineer.

Question 1
Build an algorithm to manipulate letters in a string.
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at 0x (San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2022
Interview
A complete waste of time that provided no helpful feedback or clarity. 0x reached out to me twice directly to interview for this opportunity, I didn't apply. My interview process in total took just under 1 month and consisted of five individual interviews, one interview with the co-founders, one presentation to a panel of five people, and an assignment that took six hours to research and complete. It's fine that I wasn't offered the position, *most* companies we interview with go on to make offers to other candidates, that's the name of the game. That's routine. But to spend hours and hours interviewing, preparing, researching in the middle of the workweek when you already have a 40hr a week job and NOT receive any real feedback with your rejection leaves a sour taste in your mouth. I asked 0x directly for "any constructive or actionable feedback I can use going forward" and received basically nothing (HR even acknowledged this in their response). Crypto companies often don't know what they are truly looking for when they're hiring and the disorganization showed. I'm not saying they're bad people, I'm just saying be mindful of your time.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at 0x
Interview
Initial phone screen followed by individual interviews with the entire team, several touchpoints with HR, and a 6 hour virtual "onsite" with presentation required as part of the process. HR was very communicative and kind.
