Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took two weeks.

The process has four steps:

  • Introductory call with a recruiter: Compared to others, I've noticed they come way more prepared as they have great knowledge of the technical field. It was a great surprise.
  • Technical Coding: This is a live coding interview which takes an hour and where you focus on completing an exercise edge to edge. They give you some environment preset in advance so you can focus on the important aspects. It is challenging but doable at the same time.
  • Design and Architecture: This is more like a conversation about several topics, from UI layout to backend performance. It was truly challenging, and I wasn't expecting a lot of the questions that came in.
  • Hiring manager: This seems to be a cultural fit interview. Unfortunately, I didn't reach this step.

It is worth mentioning that during the whole process, I met great people who were really prepared for their respective interviews. And finally, they put a lot of emphasis on their culture, so read it in advance.
