I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Accio Data (Austin, TX) in Mar 2023
Interview
Connected with a recruiter on LinkedIn who assigned me a recruiter from a different agency working with Accio Data. I spoke with Cody, the COO, for about 30 minutes and it was a high level conversation that was enjoyable. They then used Woven Teams to review my technical skills. There's a learning curve to it since they present it as "oh you're just doing a code review" but my evaluation reads like it was done by AI. I marked this negative because they ended the conversation early. Meaning, they asked me to invest my time and didn't fulfill their end. My Q&A below would be the Missing Manual I wish I had. You'll get links for basic tasks; doing a PR, docs for SQL, etc. Don't spend anytime on them. They're not helpful for what you're doing.

Question 1
Review Audit Settings in a PR from a new developer.
I applied online. I interviewed at Accio Data (Dripping Springs, TX) in Mar 2021
Interview
The interviews are divided into 3 parts. First, there is a short phone screen. Followed by a more technical interview with the senior engineer. There is a short HackerRank question with easy difficulty. Some raw SQL coding exercises. And review some code to guess the intent of the coder and try to fix what you can. You will then be given a coding challenge to do at home. Once the process is completed, you will be invited to talk with CTO to discuss some work history and given a short overview of the group interview.
The last interview will have you do a 30 minute rounds with various team members with some technical questions to test your knowledge.
The interviewers were very forthcoming and inform you along the way what general area will be covered so you will never step in blind.

Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Questions with the CTO were fairly high level and discussion of my experience and skill set.
The coding test provided by their Senior Software Engineer, was to provide a OOP program in any language I wanted that would run an automated game of blackjack with one player and a dealer using 6 decks of cards.
