Process

Initially, I received a call from a recruiter who found my profile on LinkedIn.

Then, I had two technical phone interviews, with questions about my experience and about programming, data structures, and algorithms. In one of them, I had to connect to an online coding site to analyze and modify some code.

Finally, I was invited to an onsite interview. There, I met nine people, including my recruiter, and was asked questions about programming and, mainly, solving problems on a whiteboard. Some problems did not involve writing code, but sketching a solution on the board.
