Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Initial communication with an HR employee.

  • Screen interview
  • Hackerrank test
  • Remote technical interview

Then, if you pass everything, you're invited on-site. They pay for everything (a very smooth experience):

  • Plane ticket
  • 2-3 nights in a premium hotel
  • Lunch
  • Reimbursement for Uber and all food expenses

On-site:

  • Three 45-minute interviews
  • A 101 (everything is on their website, and the HR contact explains everything in advance).

Questions

Fixing a small Java program, with 3 tasks in increasing difficulty:

  • System design: discuss how to design a system from unclear requirements
  • Ad-hoc problem: design the algorithm
