Process

The interview process went smoothly. There was a heavy emphasis on the company's leadership principles, with comparatively light technical questions.

I recommend writing out some talking points for each leadership principle in advance.

Questions

My interviewer asked me about a time when I took charge for the sake of improving the consumer experience.

Then, about a time that I sacrificed short-term progress for the sake of future returns.

Finally, about a time I helped a struggling teammate.

As for the coding question, I was asked to sort some lists of product recommendations and ensure that each recommendation only appears in one list.

Was this helpful?
