Process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months.
The process was the regular technical interview pipeline. It started with:
- A simple HackerRank problem-solving interview
- A code review interview
- A system design interview
- A behavioral interview with the engineering manager and tech lead for the team
Overall it was a pleasant experience. Their response time after interviews is a bit lacking (I'd wait up to a week for a response after every phase). I got a low offer so I rejected it.
