The interview process was quite lengthy.

After applying, it took about a month to receive an invite for a nearly 3-hour Online Assessment. This assessment included:

• Two coding problems (70 minutes)
• Work simulations
• Work style questions

About a month later, I received the VO survey, followed by scheduling the virtual onsite interview. This round consisted of three one-hour interviews, all in a single day.

While the interviewers were friendly, the questions were more challenging than expected. One of them was an innovative dynamic programming problem, which was tougher than what I had anticipated based on others' experiences.

1. Make short-term sacrifices for long-term goals (priority, user experience).

2. Halfway through a project, realize it might not be the right goal or that you need extra time.
