Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

I did a standard recruiter screen, which was a very honest and up-front conversation about compensation expectations, etc., which I really appreciated. Then I did a standard phone screen, got flown in to California for an in-person slate consisting of a presentation, several coding and system design interviews, and a career/leadership interview.

Questions

Standard coding and system design questions. No "tricks," good assessment of skills. Heavy emphasis on scalability for system design, even more so than MAANG.

What's your leadership style like?

(Prompted by conversation) What's an example of a decision you made that was, in retrospect, not the right one, and what did you do to remediate?

How do you make decisions about the tech stack you use? (e.g., schematized vs. NoSQL, Python vs. Node backend, etc.)
