Process
HR reached out last year.
Following that, I had one tech screen, which I passed. I then waited until this year for job openings and was scheduled for five rounds of virtual onsite interviews:
- Two coding interviews
- One behavioral interview
- One system design interview
Questions
2 coding, 1 behavior, and 1 system design.
Was this helpful?
