Process

I had a phone interview in November. The interview was mainly for SDE, but they thought I was a fit for SDET and recommended me to attend an onsite interview in January.

The phone interview went well. Questions were drawn from my resume, along with a programming question.

The onsite interview had four rounds, all of which were coding questions.
