Process

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks.

First there was a coding assessment of 4 questions: 1 LeetCode easy, 1 medium, and 2 hard. I only completed the easy and medium questions and just put down comments and ideas for both the hard questions.

I fortunately passed the assessment and then went on to a Power Day round (4 back-to-back interviews). The interviews consisted of:

  • System design interview
  • Code case interview (real world)
  • Behavioral interview
  • Code debugging interview

I would suggest studying for system design and practicing for the case interview.
