Process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks.
- Recruiter screen for 20 minutes mostly talking about the fit
- Hiring manager screen for 1 hour, which is full of behavioral questions
- Followed by Design & Architecture interview, Live coding, Build and Demo which I didn’t get to
