Process

The interview process consisted of:

  • Phone screening
  • One 1+ hour phone interview
  • On-site interview

The phone screening was followed by an interview schedule provided within two days. The phone interview took place three days after the screening, and HR responded a week later. Since I live in the area, the on-site interview was scheduled for the following week after they indicated they wanted to move forward.

Questions

  1. Phone screening:

    • Immigration status
    • Work experience
    • Personal interest, and etc.
  2. Phone interview:

  3. 1 Behavioral, 3 algorithm, and 1 system design question.
