It started with a 1.5-hour coding challenge, and they told me the next day that I had moved on. Then, I had a 45-minute phone interview. The questions weren't too difficult.
Within a couple of days, the recruiter emailed me about scheduling the onsite.
During the onsite (four coding interviews and a lunch "interview"), all of my interviewers were men (even for the lunch "interview"). As a woman, I found this tone-deaf and a bit off-putting.
The questions weren't too difficult (though not easy), but I had trouble sleeping the night before due to anxiety, so I wasn't fully mentally there. The interviewers were relatively friendly and didn't seem arrogant or condescending. The onsite was pretty well-organized, which was impressive for a satellite campus.
The recruiter got back to me within a couple of weeks, saying I was rejected by the hiring committee and advised me to reapply in a year.
Pure data structure and algorithm questions. No design questions.
