Process
Super simple application, no cover letter or anything.
Got the OA invitation a few days after, so either they're using some kind of AI to filter out or just giving everyone the OA invitation.
OA was super simple: two LC easy, one medium. A friend who also got an OA said it was two medium, one easy.
If you took any intermediate-level programming class, I'd say it's an easy pass.
It's been a few months since I took the OA and haven't heard back, so I imagine I got rejected.
RIP, but it was a great, straightforward experience!
