Process
There are a few steps to complete the whole process:
- Logic test
- Live coding / manager talking about your experience and behaviors
- Logic test again, but watched by someone
- System design / VP engineer
In my opinion, it took a long time to complete (2 months) with several pre-interviews to explain how each phase works. The good thing is I always received feedback from each step, and the process is evident and smooth.
