Process

The interview process was very smooth, taking about 5 weeks. There were two initial phone interviews, both purely programming rounds. I was notified of the results the same day.

The onsite interview consisted of 6 rounds:

  • 2 programming rounds
  • 1 design round
  • 1 lunch
  • 1 manager round

The entire process was very smooth and organized, and all the interviewers made sure I felt comfortable. I would suggest practicing a lot of programming questions, looking into LinkedIn open-source projects, and reading a lot about distributed systems.
