Process
Lengthy but moderate interview process. The entire process spanned more than 2 months.
- Codility Test (1 easy, 2 medium LeetCode type questions)
- 2hr interview (Data structures and Algorithms, and basically on any technology mentioned in the resume)
- Product Manager interview (Team/Culture fit)
- General Manager interview (Team/Culture fit)
The interview process was fast-paced, and all 4 interviews were conducted within 2 weeks. However, to get the outcome, I had to wait for 3 weeks after the last interview.
