Process
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.
The process was very lengthy. There were 4 different steps: 1 assessment and 3 interviews. The assessment and first interviews were pretty alright, mostly behavioral with some logic and math puzzles. The second interview's logic and math was a little harder, but the interviewer was very collaborative and nudged toward what they were looking for. The last interview was definitely the hardest and the most open-ended. It was system design, but at the end of the day, it was still relatively classic stuff.
Questions
