Process
First, I received a logic and coding test. The logic test had some hard questions near the end, but it was doable. The coding test was pretty straightforward.
Next, I had a HireVue video interview where I had to record myself answering questions about several scenarios.
Afterwards, I was invited to an onsite in Chicago with 3 rounds (coding, behavioral, and algorithms).
