Process

I applied on a Friday and was hired by the following Friday.

I had two main rounds of interviews:

  • The first was an easy online coding test in a language of my choice (I chose Python). There were four questions to be coded and submitted within one hour.
  • I was called and told I did well, and they'd like to have a Skype video interview. I had only one day to prepare and talk about one of my projects.

The second interview did not turn out to have anything to do with my project, so I was rather unprepared. Instead, it consisted of simple OOP and SQL questions, such as Encapsulation, method overloading, and SQL joins, along with a bit of simple algorithmic coding on the spot via screen share. The interviewer was very polite and friendly.

I received a few calls from HR between these interviews to ask about work authorization, travel preferences, etc.
