Process

A recruiter found my information from an application several years earlier.

We scheduled an informal phone call to discuss a potential full-time position and decided to move forward.

Next, we scheduled a technical phone interview with an engineer. This was done with a phone call and a shared Google Doc for coding.

After passing the phone interview, I was contacted by more recruiters.

We scheduled another informal phone call and on-site interviews.

The on-site had four 45-minute interviews with an informal lunch in the middle.

Questions

All questions were software/coding-based. They mainly required knowledge of algorithms, data structures, and performance.

There were no trick or brain-teaser questions, just straightforward logic and problem-solving tasks.

The company discourages sharing actual interview questions.
