Process

I applied online and heard back about three days later. The process was pretty straightforward, and I enjoyed it.

The recruiter was very responsive.

I had one technical phone screen that lasted an hour. It started with behavioral questions and was followed by one medium-difficulty LeetCode question.

I heard back the next day that I didn't make it, though. I wasn't surprised.
