Next steps can vary by role, but the usual next steps are a skill or experience screen (e.g. a coding interview for an Engineer, a portfolio review for a Designer, deeper experience call for other roles) which leads to a virtual or in-person interview panel after that if the screens go well. _Before making an offer, our interview process concludes with a references check stage for your recruiter to meet with a current or former supervisor and peer._ We prioritize transparency and lack of surprise throughout the process.
