Process
First, I had a call with the recruiter, and then three interviews plus one fit interview with the team.
- Behavioral interview
- Coding challenge
- Architectural challenge
The process was nice and reasonable. The total length was approximately one and a half months.
Questions
STAR questions, making changes to an existing codebase.
Questions on how to create an MVP from an architectural point of view.
