Process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks.
- 1 round of phone screen, 1 hour, 2 leetcode problems
- Virtual onsite: 4 rounds, including behavior questions, object-oriented design, leetcode problems. Behavior questions are valued very importantly; it is recommended by the recruiter to go over leadership principles thoroughly.
Questions
Describe a time when you had a conflict with colleagues, and how you resolved it.
Describe a time when you had to weigh between two different technical choices; what contributed to your decision?
