Process

Everybody has been very professional and accommodating. I met a lot of smart people and enjoyed discussing my and their experiences.

The interview consists of multiple one-hour sessions, during each of which you'll receive a mix of coding/design and behavioral questions. The coding/design questions are the most important.

It matters less if you solve them and more how you approach them and communicate your thought process.

Typically, you'll meet with three to four interviewers. At the end, you will meet with someone senior who is closing the whole interview process. That last person will typically not be on your initial interview schedule.
