Process
I applied online.
- OA: Dec 9.
- Phone interview R1 Part 1: Jan 4.
- Phone interview R1 Part 2: Jan 19.
- Onsite R2: Feb 4.
Onsite travel (flight ticket, dining, hotel) cost was compensated. Interviewers are very nice and helpful. They were able to guide you even if you're not arriving at the optimal solution or your solution has bugs.
Questions
Share one story that showcased your leadership, even if you're not an official leader.
