Process

I was approached by a recruiter, but she didn't get back to my reply. I later went through an employee referral.

I had one phone interview and, although I believed I was good, the interviewer was not confident in advancing me to the next round. I had another follow-up phone interview and then advanced to the on-site interviews. The results of the on-site interviews had some mixed signals in the coding section, and I went for a follow-up on-site coding interview. I received the feedback one week after the final interview.

My recruiter was very open and communicated every step clearly. I was amazed by how skillfully he managed my process and was ready to help. The whole process was very smooth, and I had a very good experience talking to the interviewers and the rest of the team.

Questions

The coding questions are, on average, mid-level. They are not tricky and are fairly straightforward.

Yet, it seems important that you need to solve the coding questions completely to the end, find the optimal solution, and cover all edge cases carefully.

For my case, I solved two coding questions in each of the 45-minute coding interviews.

The behavioral, system design, and machine learning questions were straightforward and manageable.
