Process

I applied through an employee referral.

  • First, I had the OA, which was very easy.
  • Then I moved on to a virtual technical and behavioral interview.
  • Next, I was flown out to the Bay Area for two onsite technical interviews.
  • Then I was asked to do an additional online interview after the onsite.

All problems were LeetCode Mediums. I got rejected after the last interview.
