Process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took four weeks.
It was one of the most well-structured interviews. There was also a very helpful team-matching process. But I felt like they rushed the last meeting steps so that I could pick a team.
Questions
The onsite was two coding interviews (two LeetCode mediums each), one system design, and one behavioral. There was one answer.
