Process
The process began with a coding screen, followed by a full onsite interview.
Everyone I interacted with, including the recruiter, was kind and welcoming.
The entire process took approximately seven weeks.
Questions
Due to the NDA, I can only share that the technical questions were fair and slightly simplified versions of real-world problems.
