Process
The interview consisted of four sections.
Each section lasted approximately 45 minutes.
I met with three engineers.
Each engineer asked two coding questions, ranging from easy to medium difficulty.
The fourth section was with the manager, who asked higher-level questions about my project (which was in computer vision).
