Process

I applied online. The process took two months.

The interview process begins with a one-hour phone interview consisting of a LeetCode-styled technical screening. Candidates then complete the following stages:

  • Two LeetCode-tagged coding interviews
  • A design of a key-value store system
  • A behavioral leadership round

Questions

System design: design a KV store.
