Process

They reached out on LinkedIn. The whole process was very fast and professional.

The interview consisted of:

  • 3 coding questions (2 straightforward, 1 more algorithmic)

  • 1 background question

The interviewers for design and background were not very experienced, so be prepared to heavily lead these rounds.
