Engineering, Performance & Scale Interview Experience - United States
Process
Total 4 Rounds:
- 1st 45min technical round
- 2nd 30min technical round
- 3rd 30min technical round
- 4th 45min Managerial round
Had a great experience with the interviewers.
I was almost selected but they had obligations about hiring remaining interns from the united States; they wanted some from Canada. This was really a bummer for me as I was quite excited to join the team and had invested a lot of time in the whole process.
