Process
Great interview experience. The recruiter and the interviewers were very helpful, enthusiastic, and professional throughout the entire process.
Applied on Indeed and got an OA almost in no time. Completed OA and was contacted by the recruiter for a Skype interview, after which a remote video interview with engineers and a manager was scheduled. The interviewers were friendly, and I felt like we were solving the problems together.
The entire recruitment went smoothly, and I got an offer several days after the second interview. I could feel they really cared about the job seeker.
Questions
OA on HackerRank. For the phone and Skype interviews, I was asked problems that I think could truly reflect the candidate's code quality in a real-world scenario instead of hard-code algorithm questions. I also had some behavioral questions with the manager.
