Positive ExperienceGot Offer
Process
Applied via LinkedIn.
- 30-minute phone screen with HR.
- Video conference with two engineers from the team.
- Take-home coding test, which included two programming questions, one design question, and one puzzle question.
After passing the take-home test (they took a couple of weeks to respond), I had an all-day on-site interview.
I was interviewed by sets of two people for 45 minutes each.
- There was a break for lunch, which was also part of the interview.
- Two interview sessions involved whiteboard coding and design tests. These seemed fair and non-adversarial.
The offer came three days after the on-site interview.
