Process
The engineering manager reached out asking me to interview for their team.
I had a technical screen, which was pretty simple.
I was then called for an onsite interview, which consisted of 5 rounds: 3 behavioral and 2 technical.
The technical rounds were not difficult, but the behavioral ones were very long and taxing.
Questions
Technical Screen:
- Reverse a string
Onsite:
- Tell me about yourself
- Tell me when you creatively solved a problem
- When you used data to solve a problem
- A lot of behavioral questions
