Process

HR and recruiting were organized and very accommodating.

I liked how they prioritized the product demo and talked about the teams that they were hiring for.

It was a typical process: code screening then more involved coding rounds.

It's hard to tell what signal they were looking for in the coding rounds. The pace of the questions and the expectation that you go through a lot of content super fast was intense and overly stressful.

Questions

There was a question about n-gram searching and wildcard indexing.
