February 1, 2019

Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I first had a phone interview. It was casual, just to know more about me and my experience.

Then, I had a face-to-face interview with the manager. That was both behavioral and a little technical, mainly about past work experience.

Next week, I had a technical round, covering basics and higher-level concepts. They said there would be no writing, but they made me write the Singleton design pattern on a whiteboard.

Overall, it was good.
