Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied via the company website, and a recruiter contacted me after a week.

He scheduled a phone interview with the Director of Engineering to discuss the team for which they were looking for a full-stack developer and my experience.

Then, an on-site interview was set up after a week.

The on-site interview was a full-day session with five different people, with questions ranging from coding, algorithms, and architectural discussions to data design to enhance the basics of DocuSign products and design patterns.
