After a recruiter call, I met the hiring manager. They explained the company and likely day-to-day work, then asked about my background, why I was changing roles, and how I used AI in everyday work.

About a week later, I had an AI-assisted technical screen. I received a large codebase and a feature requirement, and was expected to understand the existing structure with AI help, implement the feature with AI assistance, and add tests. The people I met were welcoming, and the task felt substantial without becoming adversarial.

The later interviews remained timely and organized. They seemed interested in real work rather than abstract LeetCode patterns. I did not receive an offer, but I understood the process and found the people fair and responsive.

Location: New York, NY. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: no offer.
