Process
The interview process was pleasant.
I had four interviews:
- One half coding and half cultural fit
- One design
- Two coding interviews
None of the coding questions were difficult. The recruiter sent links for coding preparation. If you did your homework, you would have seen the questions there.
I had the feeling that they wanted you to code fast, neat, and bug-free.
Questions
The design interview process was a little difficult. I kept verbalizing my thoughts. However, the interviewer remained silent most of the time. I didn't receive much guidance on which directions to go.
