Process
Cold applied at the end of September.
Got an email about final interviews in late October.
Had them two weeks later in mid-November.
Heavily behavioral, but it depends on the interviewer.
- The first interviewer asked about my resume for about 10 minutes, then proceeded to ask "tell about a time you had a problem and how did you solve it" type of questions.
- Then, about 10 minutes for the LeetCode (easy), then back to behavioral.
- The second interviewer was all about my resume, and we ended up talking about the programming languages on my resume and fun little trivia questions about them.
