Process
Two rounds of onsite interviews followed one online assessment.
The first round was a serious technical interview that lasted about 2.5 hours. It included algorithm questions and required writing on a whiteboard.
The second round was originally scheduled with the VP but ultimately involved four team leads due to an updated schedule. This interview lasted about 1 hour and focused on discussing experience, preferences, and solving some real problems the team was encountering. I was nervous at the time, but I tried to calm down and brainstorm solutions with them. Finally, I found one.
