I was contacted by a recruiter via LinkedIn and had an initial call. A call with the manager was scheduled within a few days. That discussion primarily focused on my background and the role for which I would be interviewed. I was told that I would be invited onsite shortly for a series of technical interviews.

After a reschedule, which I requested, I attended the onsite interviews. I completed two rounds of technical interviews and a manager lunch interview. The technical interviews involved whiteboarding, and each had two interviewers present (one conducting the interview and another observing). The difficulty level was manageable, but I did not perform well. After the manager lunch interview, the onsite coordinator politely informed me that, based on my performance in the earlier interviews, I would not be a good fit, and therefore, the remaining interviews would not proceed. I understood the situation completely and have no hard feelings.

Pros:

• The recruiter and onsite coordinator were very nice and friendly throughout.
• Interviewers were experienced, patient, and took time to answer my questions.
• The environment was vibrant, and the office decor was cool.

Cons: None, really.

Overall, the interview process was fast and efficient.
