Process

The process began with a phone screen, followed by an interview with the hiring manager that included a simple coding question.

After that, I was scheduled for a full day of interviews, comprising four separate sessions.

One interview was with the hiring manager again.

Another was with a "bar raiser," an individual from outside the team, who presented a reasonably difficult coding question.

The final interview involved two team members. They provided an easier coding question and then asked behavioral questions.

The entire process took approximately 5 hours.
