Process
I applied through a recruiter, and the process had three steps.
Overall, it took about three weeks, and I had positive experiences throughout the interview process:
- Online coding challenge
- Behavioral interview
- Technical interview
Questions
The behavioral interview included typical questions, the kind commonly found online.
One interesting point was that the interviewer asked numerous follow-up questions and tried to sync their understanding of my answers.
