Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online.

I was contacted by a recruiter and we went over basic questions regarding my work authorization, goals, and experiences.

Next, I had a technical phone interview for about 45 minutes, focusing on Android-related topics.

I was then given a coding exercise to create an app.

After that, I was invited for an in-person interview. It consisted mostly of whiteboard questions and discussions with various team members.
