Process
The interview process included:
- An HR phone screen
- A HackerRank take-home assessment
- A four-hour back-to-back virtual onsite, consisting of one technical interview, one case interview, one behavioral interview, and one system design interview.
The behavioral and case questions were the same as those found in other Glassdoor reviews. The technical interview was a LeetCode Easy problem. The system design interview was the most challenging, but the interviewer was kind enough to allow any approach, including front-end to back-end, back-end to front-end, Object-Oriented Design (OOD), high-level design, or UI design.
