Process
The whole process was very smooth. All interviews were very nice and professional. They let you feel relaxed to solve the problems. I really enjoyed talking to them.
The office is new and very nice. The cafetiere is awesome.
I had:
- Two rounds of coding
- One round of system design
- One round of behavior
- One round of deep dive
- A hiring manager round ended the day.
The coding rounds were live coding with Codepad. They also asked me to download a package and fix bugs.
