Process

The interview process was thoughtfully organized, with a great balance between technical depth and leadership focus. I really enjoyed the conversations – lots of smart people asking meaningful questions and sharing insightful experiences.

The screening round included:

  • One LeetCode-style problem
  • One more open-ended problem

The onsite interviews covered system design, algorithmic problem solving (not your typical LeetCode), and a presentation on two of my past projects.

Huge thanks to the recruiter, Sharyl, who kept things moving quickly and made the whole experience smooth and positive.
