Process

It starts with a technical screen online, where you code alongside someone using desktop screen sharing.

After passing that, you're invited to an onsite at the company's expense, which is a huge plus.

The people seem very friendly, and it looks like a great work environment. The problem is you're locked into five hours straight of coding and problem-solving, and that's just stressful and very draining. I wish there were scheduled breaks; no one will ask for a break since it usually means the time is cut down.

Second, if you get lunch at the facility, you kinda just want to eat and enjoy it, but you're still being questioned on personality. It seems like the wrong time to do it, since you only get a couple of minutes to eat.

It seems like it'd be better if it was a longer session with breaks and food, and the interviewers could come in for their time when they need to during the longer period.

The worst part, however, is the company does not get back to you if you are not chosen.

Questions

First interview:

Two short questions, one hour long. The first question was a Leetcode easy, very straightforward. The second question involved retrieving HTML from a URL and performing an action, essentially a check that you can interact with APIs.

Second interview:

The onsite consisted of:

  • A Leetcode Medium question modeled on data you might see regularly (e.g., stocks).
  • A Java interface implementation.
  • An Android RecyclerView implementation.
  • An idea panel where you discussed high-level modeling for a made-up app.
