Process

I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn. She was quite understanding and provided all the details I asked about.

After a few days, I had my first recruiter call, where the position and the overall interview process were explained. Following that, they scheduled an initial code screening and allowed me to choose a date and time from a calendar.

The code screening wasn't difficult. I had to create a few functions and model the data for a simple game, with increasingly complex requirements after each feature was implemented. It wasn't LeetCode style, and no algorithms were used. The interviewer was very friendly.

After a couple of days, I received a message from the recruiter informing me that I was approved and asking to set up a quick chat for the next steps. During this chat, she explained the main interview process, which comprised four interviews all on the same day, with a break after the first two. (They mentioned I could do them on two separate days if needed).

She also provided a PDF with details about what was expected from each interview and how to prepare, and shared a one-hour presentation from members of the interviewing team explaining every step of the process and how to succeed. They were very accommodating in scheduling the process for a date that better suited me.

Then came the four interviews:

  1. Values: This was a classical behavioral interview. My interviewer was very helpful and made it feel like a casual conversation about experiences.
  2. System Design: We discussed a financial system.
  3. Coding: This was a more complex coding interview than the screening. An endpoint had to be hit, and the results of my implementation were displayed live. It was still focused on implementing a feature. At one point, I had to choose a data structure to make it work.
  4. Debugging: I was given a codebase with many bugs and asked to focus on fixing them live, making tests pass to ensure functionality. This was a more "do your stuff while thinking aloud" type of interview. The interviewer offered help when I got stuck.

Overall, the experience was smooth, and everyone was very friendly.

After a couple of days, I received another email from the recruiter inviting me to chat. She informed me that I was approved and forwarded me the feedback from each interviewer.
