What Socket.Dev's hiring process looks like

Socket (socket.dev) is an a16z-backed software supply-chain security startup (~50 staff, founder Feross Aboukhadijeh, $65M raised). Its small Glassdoor footprint (~7 reviews) is uniformly positive: close-knit team, top-tier engineers, minimal bureaucracy, and leadership that invests in people. No detailed interview-loop or ghosting accounts are public, so funnel figures are inferred from a typical well-funded early-stage engineering process. Low data volume. Reported average time to first response is about 14 days. Applicants report roughly 4 interview round(s).
