Process
I had an initial phone screen, followed by a two-part panel interview consisting of coding and system design.
I had to follow up several times to even get the panel scheduled.
Similar to other reviews, my interviewer for the coding portion seemed disengaged and unimpressed.
However, my interviewer for the system design portion was very kind and personable.
I was not selected to move forward, which didn't surprise me. Based on other reviews I've read about their culture, I wasn't terribly disappointed.
