Process
I applied through an employee referral.
There were four stages:
- A 30-minute phone call to talk about resume experience.
- A take-home assessment.
- A 45-minute video call to discuss the solution approach. You have to cover edge cases and make error handling.
- A last round of two hours. The first part was system design, and the second part was behavioral questions.
Questions
How can you scale your system?
What security issues can we face, and how do you solve them?
How do you receive negative feedback?
What are the most projects that challenge you?
Which type of learner are you?
