Process
The interview process started with a phone screen, followed by two more technical interviews. I was supposedly scheduled for an onsite interview, but I did not make it to that stage.
The questions were decently challenging. However, I didn't gel well with the engineers, which led to a shaky experience overall.
All interviews were conducted through CoderPad. The latter two interviews were conducted via Skype calls, each lasting 45 minutes. There wasn't a strong focus on understanding what each engineer does, but this might just be the style of the interviewer.
