Process

  1. Online Assessment proctored through CodeSignal. I received a score in the mid-400s out of 600. There were 4 LeetCode-style questions. I was able to complete the first two within 10 minutes, the fourth halfway, and the third about 2%.

  2. After the OA results were verified by CodeSignal, I was called back within 2 business days by the recruiter, who said I passed and was moving on to the Power Day interviews.

  3. I received a prep packet about 5 days prior to the Power Day, which included links to GeeksForGeeks' top 10 interview problems, tips and resources for STAR behavioral interviewing, and a few resources on the case interview.

  4. I also received my Power Day interview schedule: two 1-hour technical interviews, a 30-minute break, a 1-hour behavioral interview, and a 1-hour case study.

Power Day arrived. The first two technical interviews took the full hour, leaving 5 minutes for questions. The behavioral and case interviews had plenty of time for questions at the end.

Every interviewer was extremely polite. Given that my first interview ran right up to time, the second interviewer gave me a couple of minutes' break before beginning.

I would say the difficulty was average because the technical aspects were not too difficult (not even LeetCode style – more word-based, real-world problem-solving). The behavioral interview is typical STAR, which I find somewhat difficult.
