Process

Pretty standard and quick interview process! It was three rounds total:

  • Recruiter screen
  • Live code screen
  • Virtual onsite

The virtual onsite consists of a live coding challenge, a behavioral round with a manager, and a system design.

I found it to be a very thoughtful and practical interview process that evaluated engineers on practical skills that are relevant to their jobs versus some obscure LeetCode problems. Interviewers were very friendly and collaborative during the technical challenges. The recruiter was also very helpful, providing some useful prep material to make sure I was set up for success.

Questions

System design for a well-known product. The focus was on a smaller scale than a typical system design (i.e., startup scale instead of a large distributed system).
