Process

Full day of interviews with different members of the team and different disciplines. Focus on my past knowledge and interest in the interviewer team and product. Interviewed with multiple teams; each team interview was 1 day. Some interviews required me to write code, even though the position was not for a developer. However, it was nothing too complex; it was to show I understood the technical concepts.
