The standard technical interview reviewed algorithms, software architecture, and optimization. All interviewers were patient and interested in learning more about me as a candidate. It was really helpful when they explained different teams and the products that are currently being worked on.
There was a lot of white-boarding and behavioral questions. Overall, it was a really positive experience.
