Process
One phone interview and four virtual onsite interviews, including one behavioral question. All interviews included an algorithm question. However, none of the algorithms or questions matched my background. The link I received forwarded me to a different thread for three out of five interviews. I never received any extra time because all interviews were back-to-back. Overall, it was a very bad experience.
Questions
