Process
The process moved very fast:
- Phone screen
- Virtual onsite (4 rounds) in the next week.
One week later, I had another call with a director. Each round was 45 minutes.
Everyone I talked to was very knowledgeable, kind, and humble. I felt like we were discussing how to solve problems in our day-to-day work. They kindly asked me to use my favorite programming language to solve the problem and provided hints when I got stuck.
I also would like to say thanks to the recruiter. She is one of the nicest technical recruiters I had ever talked to.
