Process
A recruiter reached out. After a conversation, I decided to enter the engineering interview process.
The phone interview includes an event-bus coding challenge.
The next round is a coding challenge related to calculating analytics of user cohorts. If you don't ace the cohort challenge, the interview is over and you will receive no feedback.
Also, if you are given Instacart credit, use it because the company will look up whether or not you used the coupon.
