Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

The typical interview process, with a positive twist.

There was:

  • A recruiter interview
  • A "homework" assignment
  • A technical interview
  • Their version of "the loop"

Overall, they tried to make the process (especially the technical interview) positive and real-world-like.

Questions

A typical combination of behavioral and technical questions.

For example:

  • Why are you leaving your current role?
  • What do you expect in the new role?
  • Describe past failures.
  • Describe past successes.

On the technical side, the problems were tailored to allow you to succeed by emphasizing your ability to solve problems, not to "get you" because you were not familiar with some obscure algorithm nuance.
