Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

I was initially contacted after submitting my resume online.

There was a brief phone screening, and they scheduled my first of two technical interviews using Skype and Coderpad.

The process went very quickly, and the interviewers were great to work with and very responsive.

After moving through the two phone interviews, I was invited for an on-site interview in San Francisco at their main office. They paid for the entire trip and made the process very easy.

For the on-site interview, I was asked to do two pair programming interviews with two of their engineers. Both were very friendly and easy to work with.

After the interviews concluded, I received an offer later the next week.

The entire process was very quick, friendly, and transparent. It was easily the best interview process out of the companies I interviewed with (Google, Apple, and others).

Questions

The questions covered various topics, including:

  • Converting an integer to a string algorithmically.
  • String parsing.
  • A basic TaskList system design.
