Process

I applied online in September 2020.

The first round was a phone interview where I pair-coded with one of their engineers. It was rather relaxed as there was no video involved.

This was followed by a technical video round with two engineers, featuring another coding question. Both interviewers were quite relatable as they were around my age; one of them was more approachable and friendly.

Next, there was a technical video architecture round with a "senior developer".

I then had a final round with a tech lead and recruitment manager, which was a behavioral interview. In this one, I thought I didn't do too well, as the reactions were a bit cold, but I received very good feedback in the end.

I got an offer on January 15th.
