Process

The interview process consists of a series of well-structured steps:

  1. You are invited to an online assessment in which you need to solve a few algorithmic questions.
  2. You meet with your recruiter to talk about the details of the job and a brief overview of your experience. I found the recruiters knowledgeable about the job opening as well as the broader department.
  3. A coding interview where you solve a problem with one to two interviewers.
  4. A system design interview where you solve a system design question, again with one to two interviewers.
  5. A fit interview where you likely meet with your Senior EM, and they assess if you are a fit for their team. All of the engineers in my interview were friendly.

Special gratitude to the EMs in the fit interview. As I had internet connectivity issues (everyone's nightmare when it comes to interviews), they were extremely patient and understanding.

I would very much like to point out that my interview experience by far was one of the best, if not the best I've had so far (and I did have quite a few interviews). My recruiter was quite responsive, always kept me in the loop, and was very empathetic.

Questions

I don't think I should be sharing the interview questions, even though I didn't sign an NDA.
