Process
An initial call from the interview scheduler was followed 4 days later by a Teams virtual interview with three different hiring managers. The virtual session involved a Leetcode problem. For 5 minutes after that, I was given the opportunity to ask any questions I wanted.
I had about three weeks to prepare for this coding test. If I could have had four months to prepare, maybe I would have done better.
