My interview experience at Amplitude was excellent. My recruiter was really friendly and highly communicative throughout the entire process. She immediately addressed concerns that I had with an upcoming interview, helped me connect with others on the team for more information, and overall left me with a really positive impression of the company.

Every team member that I interviewed with was on time, engaged, and easy to talk to, and I appreciate how they all stayed around to make sure that the next interviewer jumped on so that I was never left awkwardly alone, twiddling my thumbs. The interview questions were also interesting and fun, and even the soft skills questions asked me by the HM were really thoughtful.

The only reason that I did not accept my offer was because I had a competing offer, working on a product that I was particularly passionate about. Otherwise I would have accepted without hesitation.

Steps:

1. Talk with the recruiter.
2. Complete the online challenge.
3. Review and addition to the challenge with a team member.
4. Attend the onsite with two engineers, a PM, and a HM, though I might be missing someone.

The interview questions were more practical than algorithmic. Think how to parse this JSON or build this simple web app
