Process
The interview process included:
- 1 phone screen question
- 5 onsite questions
- 3 interviews with potential managers
Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I initially had an offer.
However, I had a bad recruiter who was very pushy. She bullied me at one point since she thought I was hiding something. My offer was rescinded after I alluded to what happened to someone else in the company. This really hurt me, since I had already quit my old job.
Overall, I would say I got unlucky due to a bad recruiter (and possibly bad HR).
Questions
All of the questions resembled LeetCode questions, with the addition of a machine learning question.
