Process
The interview was very smooth. The recruiters are very good at what they are doing. The overall process took 3 weeks.
First, a Skype interview through a shared screen. I was asked to model a poker game, which was quite easy.
Then, I went there for a full interview day:
- Algorithm interview: Graph traversing problems, nothing too sophisticated.
- Coding interview: Given stock values to aggregate. The problem was that we didn't have numbers for all the days.
- Decomposition interview: This was a better way of saying, "I want to see the way you're thinking."
