Process

The interview process is similar to other SF Bay Area tech companies, with a phone screen and onsite interviews.

After completing the technical phone screen with the hiring manager, I was invited for an onsite interview. I had four technical onsite interviews in total. All the engineers and the hiring manager were very professional and experienced. I really enjoyed talking with the team. My last interview was with the recruiter, and she gave me a Roku player as a gift. That was pretty cool!

I was very impressed with the entire interview process, from coordination to the offer. I have been in the SF Bay Area for a while and have completed several technical interviews before. In comparison with others, I would say that my experience with the recruiter for Cloud Services is one of the best.

She was very honest and kept me updated every single day, even while she was on vacation. This is very rare for Bay Area tech companies. I really appreciate her skills and passion for the job.

Questions

I had system design questions and solved 4-5 data structures and algorithm questions on a whiteboard.
