Process

The interview process was outstanding, and I liked it a lot. Everything started with a usual phone-screen session and moved on to an onsite with the following sections:

  • Coding and Algos
  • System design
  • Coding in a language that I've never used before (a very fun section)!
  • Behavioral

Afterward, there were background checks with my former colleagues. In parallel, I had a take-home assignment. This one appeared to be pretty tough; however, I really liked it because it felt like I returned to university times with huge assignments and zero time to do them. In the end, I went through team matching and got a pretty good offer to an amazing team. I accepted it in the end :)

Questions

I don't want to reveal questions that I'd probably use in the future.

So, here is one from the behavioral section:
