Process

The first stage was a HackerRank challenge with 120 minutes to complete 3 questions. Be prepared to know strings, linked lists, and graphs.

The second stage was a two-week take-home assignment. We had to write a complex game, which took me 3-4 full days. Office hours were available where they explained the assignment and answered questions.

The last stage was a 30-minute phone call with a recruiting member and a code walkthrough over Zoom. The phone call included usual behavioral questions, such as “tell me about yourself” and “describe a time when you had a disagreement with a team member.” During the code walkthrough, I had to add features to my game.

The recruiters were friendly and the process was organized. Their decision was not to move forward with me, but they said they had a positive experience. The only thing I didn’t like is that I didn’t receive specific feedback on why I didn’t fit the role.
