Process
I first took an online assessment that was rather hard. I didn't do that great.
Then, I had a prescreen call with a contracted recruiter. They were very nice and helpful.
Following that, we scheduled a virtual onsite interview. The format was three technical interviews and one behavioral interview.
The questions were hard but doable.
In my opinion, the most challenging part was figuring out the concrete specifications of the problem, because the initial description by the interviewer was rather vague and left a lot open to interpretation.
