Process
Applied through a hackathon link.
Received a first-round behavioral phone interview about a week later, and a technical interview two weeks after that.
Very disappointed about the technical interview. The engineer I spoke to called 20 minutes late and seemed preoccupied with something else throughout the entirety of the interview.
Questions
