Process

Applied online in July 2019. The process took 2+ weeks.

I was contacted by a Rapid7 recruiter directly. First was a phone round with the recruiter which was to know about my background. The second round was a 1hr technical phone screen round with the architect. I really liked the interview process since he was testing OOP and data structures fundamentals and I felt the tech screen was unique, where he focused on how well I know to design and code in Java.

After 2 days they scheduled an on-site interview which consists of 5 rounds. Had a 15-minute office tour and 1st round was system design interview round for an hour with one of a lead engineer. 2nd round was a 1hr technical round, where I was given a problem and was expected to code on an IDE. 3rd was a behavioral round with a senior engineer who was trying to assess if I was able to understand technical aspects and communicate well technically. 4th round again was behavioral round with the product manager who was trying to assess how well I think from a product perspective and if I would be a good cultural fit to the team.

Finally, the hiring manager spoke about the role and answered any questions that I had. Everyone is super talented and friendly and I really enjoyed the process. The recruiter was proactive and followed up regularly.

Finally the next day I was offered the role! Super excited to be a part of the team.
