Process

I was contacted by a LinkedIn recruiter on LinkedIn. After a brief chat, they scheduled a 1-hour phone interview with two algorithm questions.

After passing the phone interview, I was invited for a 5-hour on-site interview. This included:

  • One algorithm session (two algorithm questions)
  • One system design question
  • One non-technical lunch session
  • One Android coding question
  • One cultural fit session

A little over a week later, I received word that the hiring committee would like to move forward. One week after that, I was plugged into a team and received a written offer.

The whole process, from the time the recruiter contacted me, took about 5 weeks.
