Process

A phone interview was conducted on-campus, followed shortly—roughly a week—by an on-site interview.

The on-site interview consisted of four back-to-back sessions. The questions were pretty straightforward. Complexity didn't seem as important; instead, the interviewers seemed to emphasize my thought process.

The interviewers were great and very helpful. They exuded relaxing vibes, and I felt very comfortable talking with them. Honestly, it was one of the best interview experiences I've had.

Questions

Two non-obvious stack questions. I interviewed for a web position, and I expressed interest in front-end load performance on a webpage.
