Process
First, all the technical questions were algorithmic, in a LeetCode style.
The first step was an asynchronous coding interview with four coding questions of increasing difficulty.
The second step consisted of three parts:
- The first part was a technical question with two people from my potential team, and I had one hour to solve it.
- The second part was more of a cultural fit; I was explained where the company is coming from and given some scenarios to see how I would react. This part lasted for half an hour.
- The third part was another technical question with someone from another team, and again, I had one hour to solve it.
After 5-6 days, I got the offer and we entered the negotiation step.
Overall, everyone was very nice and attentive. I even had some technical problems with my computer, and they were understanding.
Looking forward to being a part of the team.
Questions
I was given an NDA, so I can't disclose any interview questions. But, as I said, the questions were algorithmic and in a LeetCode style. If you are comfortable with some medium-level LeetCode questions, you should be fine.
