Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks.

Team: Organizations

  • Initial call with recruiter
  • 30-minute interview with the hiring manager
  • Coding assessment. Seven-day due date, three days to submit once started
  • Tech interview with two engineers (staff + senior)

The next day, I got the email saying they were going to proceed with another candidate.

Questions

HM interview:

  • Why the change?
  • What do you know about the company and the role?
  • A successful project and a failed project to talk about
  • Process for learning something new.
  • Process of teaching someone something new. Be ready to talk about projects and mentoring.

Home Assessment:

  • CodeSignal Rate Limiter exercise

Tech Interview:

  • Reviewed the CodeSignal and asked questions. No live coding, no enhancement asks, just clarification about decisions.
  • Totally project focused. Be prepared to talk a lot about a big project, database focused, query performances, your role in the project, how you handled differences and communication with other teams.
