Process

Very positive onsite interview experience. The interviews were well-tailored and provided great hands-on practice.

Before the onsite, I had two 60-minute online HackerRank coding challenges. The second was needed as the first interviewer was not convinced of my Computer Science fundamentals.

After those, I was invited to a first onsite consisting of three interviews:

  • Front-end coding: Code an application inside a JSFiddle, given a data endpoint.
  • Debugging: Given a Java codebase and a user complaint, figure out the issue and fix it. Nothing too complicated.
  • Decomposition: Given a dataset related to a problem, figure out a system that uses that data to solve the problem.

The interviewers were interested in my approach to tackling and splitting up larger problems into manageable, working deliverables.

I received positive feedback after the onsite and was called back for a fit/motivation interview. This last one was a bit unsettling and rushed. The interviewer was typing everything on their laptop, and it felt more like an interrogation than a conversation.
