Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Applied online through LinkedIn.

First step was a chat with a recruiter, talking about the role and about yourself.

Second step was a longer, technical chat with a senior engineer, going over past projects and your approach to software engineering.

Final round was four back-to-back (virtual) interviews:

  • Backend challenge
  • Frontend challenge
  • Interview with product growth manager
  • System design with the VP of engineering

There were a few hiccups on the interviewers' end that I felt affected my performance, but overall, it was a very quick and decent interviewing process.
