Process

I was contacted by their recruiter, which was followed by a phone call with the hiring manager. The phone interviews went really well. Everyone was professional and provided all necessary details.

They reached out after about two or three days to schedule a technical phone interview, which consisted of basic SQL and algorithm questions.

I noticed throughout the interview process that they tend to put extra attention on their corporate culture, so be aware of that and make sure you have reviewed their corporate slides (available on their website).

Then, I flew to their HQ in Los Gatos, CA. They divide the interview process into two parts: three interviews before lunch. If they feel you're not the best candidate, you will not proceed with the second part, and they will tell you right after lunch.

That's what happened to me, even though I think I answered all questions. Be prepared to answer questions about the optimization of code/SQL that you wrote on a whiteboard. It seemed that they expected answers in a certain way.

Questions

SQL queries to find the time difference between two events given a certain condition.
