Process

I had a one-hour technical screening interview conducted by Karat.

The problem was fairly easy, but I didn't complete the code in the allotted time.

Nevertheless, the interview experience was excellent. The interviewer was professional, knowledgeable, helpful, pleasant, and genuinely interested in determining my coding abilities.

Questions

I won't go into details about the questions.

There were several systems design questions that took up about a half hour, and one medium-difficulty coding problem that took up the rest of the interview.

Was this helpful?
