Process
I applied through an employee referral.
The interview process consisted of:
- One 1-hour technical screen.
- One virtual onsite, which included two 1-hour technical coding rounds and a 30-minute values interview.
There was a break before the values interview.
The interviewers were okay, but the recruiter was really great. She was very quick and efficient, especially when I mentioned needing to expedite the process due to a separate offer deadline.
Questions
Two LC easy/medium questions, one LC hard DP problem.
