Old USA, and this is a famous tech, (YC Seeded, SF Bay Area), company (older, and semi-large, but not public yet).

I have had this 'references', but requiring a former manager was a first. The whole process had way more interviewing rounds than Meta and Google did. At least Google decided to skip the phone screen for me.

Sounds like Stripe. I gave a (peer) reference check for a former colleague. They asked a lot more than title and dates of employment.
