Process

First phone call with a recruiter, who was delightful, very knowledgeable, and supportive. I was scheduled for a 1-hour phone screen. I was asked two questions; the first was basic, and the second was medium, both very manageable.

I did my onsite two weeks later, where I had five interviews:

  • The first was with the hiring manager (asked me questions about my CS background, projects, and why LinkedIn).
  • The second was a coding interview (question from CTCI).
  • The third was a lunch interview (an opportunity to chat with an engineer).
  • The fourth was another coding interview (this one was harder).
  • The last was the design interview.
