Process
I applied online, and the process took 3 weeks.
The interview went well. Everyone was nice, and communication from the team was great. There were 3 rounds of interviews:
- Get to know you (minor technical questions)
- AI code interview
- Final round (system design, behavioral, live coding)
Questions
Do a system design for a merchandising store, and give API request examples and the structure of data objects.
