Process

After being contacted by a recruiter, I agreed to a phone screen and subsequently went on-site for further interviews.

I had five interviews:

  • Two coding/algorithms interviews.
  • One design interview.
  • One communication interview.
  • One interview discussing my history.

I also had lunch in the cafeteria.

Upon arrival, they provided an iPad displaying my schedule for the day. I was informed of my interviewers in advance. The recruiting host gave me a tour of the facility before the interviews began. It is a nice place.

Questions

Graph and tree problems, a geometry/math question, a well-known OOP design question, and explain a previous project as if explaining it to two new teammates.
