Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through another source.

An overall great experience despite failing at the technical interviews. Good questions, humble interviewers, and a nice experience as a candidate.

Interviews I went through:

  • Discovery with talent
  • Product interview with eng. manager
  • Coding challenge
  • System design

Questions

One question that stood out and that I should have prepared more for was.

What is the most technically difficult thing you have built?

Was this helpful?
