Process

Virtual technical phone screening over GVC, 45 minutes.

Interviewed by an engineer.

Virtual onsite technical with approximately 4 rounds:

  • One system design
  • Three algorithms and data structures

Very slow process at first, with multiple days or even a week between correspondences, but much faster when there was a competing offer on the table.
