I applied online via job boards Dice.com and was contacted by HR in a few days. After two phone interviews with different HR people, I was moved on to having a phone screen with a Development Manager. Most questions during the phone screen stage focused on my background and experiences. Two weeks later, I was informed that they would like to have an on-site interview.

The entire process of the on-site interview was designed really well and in a friendly manner. First, I met one HR person, who helped me along the process. Then, I met one Development Manager, to whom the role I applied would report, and then met two engineers. Both 1-on-1 and 2-on-1 interviews required white-boarding. After that, two engineers took me for lunch, and the VP of Engineering showed up after we came back from lunch. Those rounds primarily focused on behavioral questions.

I was really impressed with everyone's professional performances and the company's atmosphere as a great start-up. One of the best interview experiences I've ever gone through.

Prior to the on-site interview, I spent most of my time reviewing and practicing algorithm problems from LeetCode, GeeksForGeeks, and Glassdoor.

During the on-site interview, I was asked about simple SQL query statements and JavaScript programming, which are supposed to be really easy for me and solvable without any hesitation. However, I did not recall those details immediately, which impacted the decision the hiring committee made.
