Process
The process went well overall. It took roughly a month.
Typically, the recruiting team was very quick to respond to questions, unless the question was “what’s the status of my application?” But I digress.
Things to brush up on: OOP principles, design patterns, and general problem-solving. Language doesn’t matter.
The recruiter told me to study for something completely different from what I got. After emailing them after seeing the listing reposted a week later, I never heard back. Thanks, guys!
Process Outline:
- Phone screening
- Interview with Manager
- Take-home coding challenge
- Panel interviews totaling 3-5 hours
- Offer (or ghosting)
Questions
Design a database for a bookstore.
