Process

Usually, there are two phone interviews and then a 4-hour onsite.

However, I skipped one of the initial phone interviews. Also, because I did not do too well on the design interview, I had to come in again specifically for another design interview.

I assume I got this opportunity only because I did well on every other interview.

Questions
