Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Applied through the online portal and received an OA. Heard back from the recruiter in two weeks. The interviews are up to you to schedule.

The interviews are held off-camera by rule and on Zoom.

Round 1: Friendly interviewer. Round 2: Interviewer was very hands-off and ignored my questions several times, but was clearly knowledgeable.

Questions

Round 1 (OA) 3 LeetCode mediums in 2 hours.

Round 2 (Interview) Data structure and OS theory, 1 LeetCode medium.

Round 3 (Interview) Design problem, runnable game design. Focus on correctness rather than efficiency.
