My first interaction was a take-home coding assignment. It was interesting and fun, but it took me a bit of time to complete.

The next round consisted of two technical interviews: one coding and one system design. These were relatively straightforward, and I had a good time chatting with the engineers afterward.

I had one round with the CTO, which was also great for getting to know his style and learning more about the company and its culture.

They asked me to complete the cognitive test after I had passed that round. I think I was supposed to take it at an earlier stage, but it didn't happen until later for some reason.

The last round was with a bar-raiser, a chat with a non-technical executive. This was filled with many ambiguous questions, and I considered it the toughest round. However, I also learned more about other departments within the company and how they operate.

Overall, the process took about 1.5 months.

Tell me about a time when you faced adversity.
