Process

The first step was an on-campus interview at my college, a 45-minute technical session.

I heard back one week later, being invited to an onsite interview in San Francisco.

I completed this interview approximately three weeks later. They flew me in the morning before, and I had the option of taking the redeye flight the night of, or the night after my interview (I chose the latter).

The interview itself was a mix of behavioral and technical questions.

The schedule started at 11 AM and included:

  • One interview
  • A lunch session with two engineers from the team I was interviewing for
  • Two more interviews afterwards (the last being with the engineering manager).
