The interview process with Marqeta was fairly standard and smooth. At first I met with a recruiter to review my qualifications and whether there were any good fits within the company. Since I looked like a good fit, the next step was to meet with one of the managers. Once that was complete and I passed that step, the next step was a take home assignment that matched the SDET position I was applying for. The assignment was actually fun and was implementing some of Marqeta's APIs and developing tests to validate them. It took about a week for me to complete the coding. Next I was scheduled for a few interviews, one to review my coding challenge, another I think was to see if I was a good fit for the company, and finally with another manager. After all the interviews were done, I met one more time with the recruiter.

Due to the pandemic, all the interviewing was done remotely and over video calls. Everyone I met was professional and I enjoyed the process. The recruiter I worked with was awesome. She was helpful, friendly, and always kept me updated with what was going on.

Some of the questions were centered around my take home coding test and why I chose some of the tools I used.
