Process

Fairly standard. I had two technical interviews.

One focused on algorithms, and the other on systems design.

The interviewers helped me through the process of solving the questions, which is probably why I wasn't selected for a later round.

On the whole, I enjoyed the interview process. I felt that the interviewers were helpful, and the questions were challenging.
