Process

It was smooth. I had 4 rounds:

  • Initial phone screening
  • Take-home CodePad challenges (not an algorithm question)
  • Two 1-hour tech screenings (LeetCode medium and easy) and a 30-minute behavioral
  • 15-minute call with the CEO

Then I was directed to a different team because the team I applied for was full. The whole process took 4 weeks, but it could have been faster if I hadn't switched teams.

Everyone was so friendly and helpful! I've never had an interview process so smooth and felt so encouraged after each step.

Be prepared to talk about your code. Explain your steps and think out loud. Also, be ready to answer questions related to their values.
