Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks.
This was in 2021. There were 3 steps:
- Phone call with recruiter
- Technical interview with engineering team
- Final interview with recruiter
Final interview with recruiter was the most important. The recruiter I spoke to had a tech background and asked algorithms questions.
Questions
In the final interview with recruiter, they asked a question similar to 2sum and a list compaction question.
