Process
A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn.
It was a very pleasant conversation.
He mentioned that he would set up a technical interview for me.
It took about a month.
They provided me with numerous resources to review and an outline of the interview in an email.
The technical interview consisted of two 45-minute sessions with a 15-minute break in between:
- One session covered Python (or Java, if you are stronger in that language).
- The other session covered MySQL.
The interviewers were very helpful and offered hints upon request.
Overall, it was one of the most pleasant interview processes I have experienced.
