Process

The interview process included:

  • An HR round for basic questions.
  • A one-hour technical phone interview. Questions were majorly based on my resume and some tech questions.
  • A take-home assessment to be completed within 2 days. For this assessment, I had to build a REST API to get the names of food trucks in SF.
  • Once all these stages were cleared, I was called for the final interview.

The final interview consisted of five rounds:

  • Easy/Medium LeetCode question (Spiral Matrix).
  • Walk-through of the take-home assessment code. I was also asked to make some changes according to their suggestions.
  • Easy/Medium LeetCode question (See if a string can be formed from another string – a little more complicated than that).
  • A complete behavioral round with a PM to check compatibility with the team.
  • A complete behavioral round with a Manager to check compatibility with the team.

From my experience, I can say they focus more on cultural fit. The tech rounds weren't difficult, but they focused on a lot of edge cases. If they feel you would fit in the team, it should be fine.
