I applied online. I interviewed at Aternity (Los Angeles, CA) in Aug 2021
Interview
Had a call with the recruiter, then the manager, then one of their engineers. The engineer was kinda aloof, didn't really seem like he wanted to interview me. They never followed up after my interview.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Aternity (Boston, MA) in Jan 2020
Interview
Very fast interview process. On the same day I submitted my resume, I was contacted to schedule phone interviews with the HR Recruiter and the hiring manager the same week. These were followed up with an in-person interview the following week with the hiring manager and their peer managers for related teams. In advance of this interview, I was asked to prepare and present a brief 30-minute presentation on the topic of my choice, preferably one I had presented to customers in a prior role.
Meanwhile, HR provided me with detailed information about the role, salary range, and company benefits.
The next day after the presentation interview I was contacted by HR recruiter with an offer. Great process and great people to work with.
