The interview process started out pretty smoothly. A recruiter connected me to an engineering manager and we had a brief video call around my background, why I wanted to join Zeus, the team and product I'd be working with. I got asked a few questions around past projects + how I resolved bugs/challenges and overall this was a pleasant experience. They set up the second round pretty quickly as well which was a 1 hr technical with an engineer to build a calendar widget. This was done using coderpad which limited the libraries you could import and there seemed to be a miscommunication as the engineer wanted me to use react when I was told I should use Ruby in the previous round. The challenge wasn't too difficult, but it was a little unclear on the expected output they wanted. Unfortunately things went downhill after this round. I didn't receive a response from the recruiter after a week so I sent a follow-up email. No response. I followed up two weeks later - no response. Finally on my third email follow up (nearly a month after the second round) I received a rejection from the recruiter. The nice part was that they did give in-depth feedback and why they were not moving forward, which I certainly appreciated, but the latter half of the process was really disorganized. I'm sure if I hadn't followed up, they probably would have ghosted me.

It was a 5 hour interview split up into three different technical segments, and about an hour for culture fit and overtime. I enjoyed talking to most of the developers, however one in particular in the first segment was rather rude and demeaning. On top of this, the culture fit portion seemed poorly done with bad generic/irrelevant questions. All in all, it was a good experience with some small but important caveats that would not make me want to have an interview like this again.

Applied online. Initial phone screen with HR. Then a ~75 minute online coding assessment, not terribly hard but was crunched for time at the end. Received onsite decision shortly after. Onsite consists of lunch with team members, a practical live coding session (not like a traditional algorithms question), systems design, and culture interview. Overall really great interview experience. HR communicated well throughout process and interview questions were fair. Interviewers were really cool and engaged.
