Process

The interviewers were all pretty smart and accomplished. They asked a fairly reasonable set of system design and algorithms questions. I had a couple of phone screens followed by a full day on-site, which included four tech interviews:

  • One system design
  • Two coding and problem-solving
  • One tech deep dive into a project I had done

There was also one culture fit interview (this one was tiring and I hated it the most), and an overall wrap-up.
