March 1, 2015
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was first contacted by email to set up a phone screen. The phone screen consisted of questions about past experience (e.g., the hardest problem you ever had to solve) and no technical problem-solving.

This was then followed by an on-site interview consisting of meeting with a recruiter, several engineers, and a couple of managers.

Most interviews were technical, with:

  • One whiteboard question
  • A series of questions about resume experiences

This was then followed by time for me to ask questions.
