Process

I applied online and the recruiter reached out about a week later. The whole process took about two months and included the following phases:

  • Initial phone call with the recruiter: a very informative session to learn more about the company, and the hiring process was transparently explained.
  • One round of Tech Screen.
  • Four rounds of interviews (1 behavioral, 1 design, 2 coding).
  • Team match.

The overall process went smoothly, largely due to my recruiter being proactive and providing all feedback in a timely manner. I also benefited from a detailed interview preparation session hosted by the recruiter, which was very helpful. The interviews were planned over two days, but one round was canceled the day before. Fortunately, my coordinator quickly helped with rescheduling, so the process didn't get delayed for too long. After completing all interviews, I waited 10 days to hear back from my recruiter. Along with some good news, I waited about a week to proceed with the team match.

Both the recruiter and coordinator showed great professionalism and enthusiasm in their work. I must say this was one of the major factors that made me accept the offer.
