Process
Stage 1: HR interview. Basic questions: Why Disney? Experience overview.
Stage 2: Technical prescreen. I asked 90% of all questions to the candidate about the technology they use in the project. They asked 10%, like - What were your previous role responsibilities?
Stage 3: Live-coding interview. Failed this one. The task was to find the Lowest Common Ancestor in a tree.
