Positive ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I applied online. The process took two weeks.
It was streamlined, organised, and quick. There were three interview rounds:
- Algorithmic + Implementation
- System Design with design choices explanation
- Hiring manager with in-depth discussions about past work and projects. They were great, good people who are open to feedback.
Questions
The process was System Design, DSA (Codeforces Div2 C), an implementation code quality check, and a detailed discussion of past work and design choices.
