Process

Had a chat with a recruiter to go over information about the company and the position.

Had a technical phone interview with an engineer where we did a problem on HackerRank.

Had a call with the hiring manager where I went over my experience and some behavioral questions.

Had my on-site with two coding assessments, one system design, and one interview with the hiring manager. The coding assessments were on HackerRank.

My on-site was on a Tuesday, and I received my offer the following Thursday. My recruiter kept me updated in between those times, so it felt very quick. I had a great experience with the interviewers and the recruiters, which gave me more confidence about the company.

Questions

My phone interview involved a binary tree question.

On-site questions involved:

  • Array traversing and dictionary.
  • A card game question that involved Random, Stacks/Queues, and arrays.

System design: I don't remember the question too well, but for my preparation, I reviewed:

Hiring manager: I was asked some questions about my experience and diversity, and I was given the opportunity to ask more about the team and expectations.
