Process
The process included a couple of introductory interviews, a take-home exercise, and a final 6-hour virtual onsite marathon. The interviews featured a mix of repetitive database design questions and generic non-technical questions.
Questions
A lot of object-oriented questions around data structure and database design.
There was a take-home exercise that you were expected to complete (at least in my case) in one day.
